Blood Vessel Repair in Hand

Hand blood vessel repair using microsurgical techniques

Blood vessel repair in the hand is a procedure that involves repairing damaged or injured blood vessels in the hand. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, and may involve the use of microsurgical techniques to repair small blood vessels. The surgeon will make a small incision in the hand to access the damaged blood vessel, and will then use specialized instruments to repair the vessel. This may involve suturing the vessel back together, or using a graft or patch to repair a larger defect. The procedure typically takes several hours to complete, and patients may need to stay in the hospital overnight for observation. Recovery time varies depending on the extent of the injury and the type of repair performed, but most patients are able to return to normal activities within a few weeks.
