Not all hand surgery is the same. GP minor surgery may be suitable for small, simple lumps, but for complex cases like trigger finger, ganglion cysts, or Dupuytren’s contracture, consultant-led care offers clear advantages.
Key benefits:
- Specialist expertise: Consultant surgeons have advanced training in hand and nerve surgery.
- Better outcomes: Reduced risk of recurrence and improved function.
- Fast access: Private consultant appointments in 1–3 weeks.
- Day-case convenience: Return home the same day.
If you want the best results, particularly for conditions affecting grip, dexterity, or appearance, consultant-led surgery is the gold standard.
