Peripheral Nerve Surgery Services
Precision Surgery Clinic
At the Precision surgery clinic, we offer consultations for various peripheral nerve problems, but only Local Anaesthethic procedures are offered at the clinic, however after consultation most peripheral nerve issues can be treated on the NHS by our surgeons, if not offered at the clinic under Local Anaesthetic.
Mr. Samuel George is a fully trained consultant plastic and peripheral nerve surgeon with a vast experience in the nerve surgery and microsurgery fields who has been throughout his career involved in innovation and research in his specialty. The care at the clinic is consultant-led every step of the way and is arranged in the most flexible and cost-effective way that exceeds patient expectations.

Carpal Tunnel Surgery
Carpal tunnel surgery is a procedure to relieve pressure on the median nerve, which runs through the carpal tunnel in the wrist. The carpal tunnel is a narrow passageway made up of bones and ligaments. When the tissues in the carpal tunnel swell, they can press on the median nerve, causing pain, numbness, and tingling in the hand and fingers.
Carpal tunnel surgery is usually an outpatient procedure, which means that you can go home the same day as the surgery. The procedure is done under Local Anaesthesia.

Carpal Tunnel Release Procedure
It is important to remember that in established carpal tunnel syndrome, the main objective of the operation is to prevent further deterioration, and sometimes the numbness and weakness does not improve. The pins and needles and waking up at night usually gets better in most cases. In open carpal tunnel release surgery, the surgeon makes a small cut in the palm of the hand, over the carpal tunnel. The surgeon then cuts through the ligament that is pressing on the median nerve. This makes more room for the nerve and relieves the pressure.
Recovery From Carpal Tunnel Surgery
Most people recover well from carpal tunnel surgery. The pain and numbness in the hand usually start to improve within a few days. However, it may take several weeks or months for full strength and sensation to return.
After surgery, you will need to wear a splint or bandage on your wrist to protect it. You will also need to avoid certain activities, such as lifting heavy objects or using your wrist for long periods of time.
Your doctor will give you specific instructions on how to care for your hand and wrist after surgery. It is important to follow these instructions carefully to avoid complications.

Cubital Tunnel Surgery
Cubital tunnel surgery is a procedure to relieve pressure on the ulnar nerve, which runs through the cubital tunnel in the elbow. The cubital tunnel is a narrow passageway made up of bones, ligaments, and muscles. When the tissues in the cubital tunnel swell, they can press on the ulnar nerve, causing pain, numbness, and tingling in the hand and fingers.
Cubital tunnel surgery is usually an outpatient procedure, which means that you can go home the same day as the surgery. Cubital tunnel surgery is sometimes combined with a medial epicondylectomy (Excision of prominent bone), anterior transposition (Moving the nerve forward) or a Supercharging Nerve transfer (for more severe compression with muscle weakness). It is important to remember in established cubital tunnel syndrome, the main objective of the operation is to prevent further deterioration and weakness and numbness and current strength might not improve. The pins and needles and waking up at night usually gets better for most people.

Cubital Tunnel Release Procedure
In cubital tunnel release surgery, the surgeon makes a small cut on the inside of the elbow, over the cubital tunnel. The surgeon then cuts through the ligament that is pressing on the ulnar nerve. There are fascial bands which are tight before and after the elbow which are also released. This makes more room for the nerve and relieves the pressure.
Recovery From Cubital Tunnel Surgery
Most people recover well from cubital tunnel surgery. The pain and numbness in the hand usually start to improve within a few days. However, it may take several weeks or months for full strength and sensation to return.
After surgery, you will need to wear a bandage on your elbow to protect it. You will also need to avoid certain activities, such as lifting heavy objects or bending your elbow at a 90-degree angle.
