Pune, August 23, 2023: Sahyadri Hospitals in Pune have taken a significant step towards elevating healthcare by launching their state-of-the-art Advanced Hand Surgery Department. This specialized department is dedicated to offering comprehensive care for conditions related to the hand, wrist, and upper extremities. The introduction of this pioneering facility aims to provide relief to individuals dealing with various hand ailments, offering cutting-edge treatments and procedures.
Leveraging advanced imaging techniques and innovative surgical procedures, the Advanced Hand Surgery Department is set to revolutionize patient outcomes through minimally invasive interventions. The services offered cover a broad spectrum, ranging from emergency treatments to joint reconstruction. Intricate procedures like small joint arthroscopy and bone transplantation, as well as reconstructive surgery for birth defects and nerve repairs, are all part of the department’s expertise.
In addition to surgical interventions, the department is equipped to provide comprehensive hand therapy services led by experienced occupational therapists and physical therapists. These therapies are designed not only to address injuries but also to restore functionality and enhance daily life activities. The comprehensive rehabilitation services encompass postoperative care, pain management, sensory re-education, personalized exercise regimens, and the creation of customized splints.
Dr. Abhijeet Wahegaonkar, Senior Consultant and Head of the Advanced Hand Surgery Department at Sahyadri Hospitals, expressed his excitement about the department’s mission to provide evidence-based, high-quality care to patients. Dr. Sunil Rao, Chief Operating Officer of Sahyadri Hospitals, emphasized the institution’s commitment to healthcare excellence by combining advanced technology with a holistic approach.
The Center for Advanced Hand Surgery is located across multiple branches of Sahyadri Hospitals, including Deccan Gymkhana, Nagar Road, and Hadapsar. Apart from providing specialized medical services, the department will also engage in support group sessions, awareness campaigns, and collaborative efforts to improve patient outcomes.
Sahyadri Hospital has additionally launched two impactful campaigns: “Save the Working Hand” and “Hand in Hand – Save the Growing Hand,” aligning with the inauguration of the Advanced Hand Surgery Department. The former campaign focuses on workplace safety and comprehensive care for adult hand injuries, while the latter addresses pediatric hand anomalies and obstetric brachial plexus palsy. These initiatives highlight the hospital’s commitment to healthcare excellence and its dedication to fostering a culture of hand health awareness.
