Hand tumors are diverse growths that can arise from various tissues (skin, fat, tendons, blood vessels, bone). Most changes are benign, but each requires professional evaluation. It is important to distinguish between non-hazardous and potentially hazardous changes.
Tumors of the hand include a wide spectrum of changes, from benign to rare malignant growths.
The most common are:
During examination, we can often palpate a tumor and assess functional and aesthetic impairment, and then decide on diagnostic procedures: imaging tests (ultrasound, X-ray, MRI) or puncture. Based on the results, we will prepare an individualized treatment plan.
At Juventina, every intervention is based on precise diagnostics, which is the key to correct and successful treatment.
We use:
Before the procedure, we conduct a thorough examination and, if necessary, additional diagnostics with ultrasound, X-ray, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and further specialist tests.
Before surgery, we recommend:
Based on the examination, we can decide on surgical treatment under local or general anesthesia. First, we choose the length and position of the incision, then we visualize the tumor and, using good surgical technique with the aid of surgical loupes, excise it in a bloodless field, separating it from surrounding structures and removing it without additional damage to healthy tissues. We then proceed with hemostasis and wound closure. Sometimes, a drainage tube may be necessary. Typically, the tissue is sent for pathohistological analysis after the procedure.
A minimally invasive approach allows for:
After the surgery, we expect that there may be minimal pain, swelling, a pulling sensation, and altered skin sensitivity in the area of the surgical incision. These symptoms usually subside for the most part after approximately 3 weeks.
After surgery, the following may be present:
Important to consider:
After the surgery, we recommend resting with your arm elevated to heart level and gently moving your fingers. We recommend having your stitches removed by your primary care physician after 10-14 days. After stitch removal, we recommend physical therapy and scar care.
Most patients return to their daily activities quickly. With the program Juventina Care 360° We enable support for rapid and effective recovery and postoperative regeneration.
