Care Details

At Potter Plastic Surgery & Med Spa, we specialize in Digital Nerve Repair to restore sensation and functionality to the fingers following injuries to the digital nerves. These delicate nerves are essential for feeling and movement, and damage can significantly impact your ability to perform everyday tasks. Our experienced team uses advanced techniques to reconnect and repair damaged nerves, helping patients regain both comfort and dexterity in their hands. Digital Nerve Repair is ideal for individuals who have experienced nerve damage due to cuts, trauma, or crush injuries to the fingers. This procedure addresses symptoms such as numbness, tingling, or loss of sensation in the affected area. By repairing the damaged nerve, this treatment restores proper sensory function and helps prevent long-term complications like permanent loss of feeling or hypersensitivity. Many patients find that this procedure significantly improves their quality of life, allowing them to return to work, hobbies, and daily activities. The procedure is performed under local or regional anesthesia and typically takes 60 to 90 minutes. During surgery, the severed or damaged nerve ends are carefully identified and reconnected using precise sutures. In cases of significant nerve loss, a nerve graft may be used to bridge the gap. Recovery involves protecting the hand with a splint and limiting movement in the early stages to ensure proper healing. Initial sensation improvements are often noticed within a few weeks, though full recovery may take several months as the nerve fibers regenerate. Our team provides personalized aftercare instructions and ongoing support to maximize your recovery and outcomes. Digital Nerve Repair at Potter Plastic Surgery & Med Spa offers a transformative solution to restore sensation, functionality, and confidence in your hands.
