Therefore , it is also called 'Hand and Upper Extremity Surgery. It also deals with the diagnosis and treatment of the diseases in the lower extremity area such as leg and foot diseases and injuries, nerve, vessel and tendon cuts, and congenital disorders. Hand surgery physicians should be an expert in the fields of microsurgery and reconstructive surgery and should cooperate with these fields when necessary. Surgical treatment of nerves and veins in the treatment areas is performed by looking at the surgical microscope, enlarging the surgical tissues and areas, and using fine-tipped micro-instruments. Therefore, microsurgery and hand surgery are integrated surgical branches.

Physical therapy and rehabilitation treatment, which starts from the early period and can continue for a long time if necessary, plays a critical role to achieve successful results during and post-operative period of hand surgery operations.

Many factors such as the feature of operated tissue, the age of the patient, the operation area, and the success of physical therapy are important factors in the recovery process. As a result of some reconstructive surgeries, it is not possible to get perfect results even though the surgery has been successful and physical therapy and rehabilitation are continued. In such cases, the aim is to restore the patient's operated limb to the best possible function.

Reconstructive Microsurgery

The main purpose of reconstructive microsurgery is to reassemble the ruptured limb or parts from the body and restore their normal function. These cases where the blood circulation is primarily provided are also defined as replantation. Then the nerves which provide the sensory-motor function and other functions are also repaired . In cases where the limb is not fully separated from the body and the absence of blood circulation, the veins can be repaired to provide re-circulation and it is called revascularization. Separation of the tissue or limb from the body, in other sayings, amputation is seen especially due to work and traffic accidents.

The condition of the tissue or limb being completely separated from the body, or, otherwise known as amputation, is especially seen due to work and traffic accidents.

In general, the ruptured tissue should be able to be stitched properly and functionally in its place in case that the hand and finger have been ruptured. In this situation, it is important how the tissue was damaged, and the experience of the doctor and his or her expertise in the microsurgery field. If the ruptured or severed vein is not corrected with the correct microsurgical technique, the amputated body tissue loses its vitality. This leads to irreversible loss of tissue. In this type of accident and injury, it is extremely important to protect correctly the part for the success of the treatment and even for the realization of the treatment in some cases.
