Hand Surgery is surgery of the hand, wrist and all the nerves running along the arm and hand. It includes all reconstructive surgery that restores and form and function of the hand and fingers. Hand problems can occur spontaneously, over time (chronic), are traumatic, or congenital.
As part of his extensive surgical training, Dr Stasch has worked in Plastic Surgery units in the UK and Germany which also specialized in Hand Surgery – allowing him to learn from the best teachers (Plastic Surgery Units in Livingstone, Edinburgh and Norwich, and Luisenhospital Aachen, Germany) and treating thousands of hand surgical conditions, including highly complex microsurgical reconstructions for finger amputations, wrist arthroscopy for ligamental and meniscus damage, joint replacements and joint fusion, distal radius fractures and peripheral nerve surgery. His practical qualifications and successfully completed exams earned him the additional academic title “Facharzt für Hand Chirurgie” (Specialist in Handsurgery) from the Federal Medical Board in Duesseldorf, North-Rhine Westphalia.
In Nairobi, the most common conditions in handsurgery that we see and treat involve the following:
Pain and numbness in your thumb and index finger can be caused by CTS – we can help
Pain in the base of your thumb due to worn out cartilage and bone – this is the solution we offer
Does your finger get stuck and cause snapping? We can relieve this common problem
Fingers being pulled into the bent position needs surgery when they interfere with your daily life
Swelling at your wrist or the end of your finger, causing pain or nail deformity – it could be a ganglion
Lumps and bumps on the hand can have various origins. If they become symptomatic - we can remove them
Your baby has joined fingers since birth – we can separate them safely using advanced techniques of hand reconstructive surgery
Accidents happen - cut finger, nail avulsion, dog bite or severed structures of your hand and wrist by broken glass – let us help you
First Aid for fingertip injuries or finger amputations - do the right thing to save valuable hours to make sure optimal success
Hand trauma is debilitating - we can help with reconstructive surgery: primary tendon repair or tendon transfers in snapped tendons, arthritis or after trauma
Surgical drainage or debridement of hand infections is a surgical emergency - you could lose your hand after even small infections of animal bites.
