Main areas of practice

Peripheral nerve surgeries

Peripheral nerve surgery is a field that combines surgical capabilities from the fields of hand surgery, neurosurgery, and plastic surgery.

The extensive knowledge accumulated in recent years makes it possible to restore function after both acute and chronic injury related to the peripheral nervous system.

Nerve transfer surgeries are a central tool in surgical treatment:

  • Treatment of nerve entrapment syndromes in the upper or lower limb

  • Treatment after acute or chronic injury to the brachial plexus

  • Restoring function after peripheral nerve injury

  • Restoring upper limb function after spinal cord injury

  • Surgical treatment of pain caused by peripheral nerve injury

Microsurgery

Microsurgery is surgery that is performed partly under a microscope for the purpose of irrigating small blood vessels or nerves.

This technique allows the transfer of tissue (skin, muscle, bone) from a specific location in the body to another location for the purpose of:

  • Improving function through muscle transfers

  • Tissue coverage after trauma, tumor, or infection

  • Preservation of an organ in danger

  • Transplanting amputated organs to their place

  • Composite bone grafts for the treatment of incomplete or nonunion after a fracture

Hand surgery

Hand surgery is a surgical specialty that focuses on treating acute and chronic problems of the upper limb.

The goal is to maintain or restore optimal function of the limb.

The profession includes reference to tissues with different characteristics and functions - skin, tendons, nerves, blood vessels, bones and joints.

This approach allows for the treatment of a wide range of situations such as:

  • Treatment of acute upper limb injury

  • Restoring function after an old upper limb injury

  • שחזור עצבים

  • Tendon transfers

  • Treatment of birth defects
