The Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at UC Davis provides a broad spectrum of treatment and surgery for disorders of the hand and wrist. Our team of plastic and reconstructive surgeons specialize in hand and microvascular surgery and are dedicated to providing comprehensive care for a variety of injuries and pathological disorders affecting hands and upper extremities.
Our plastic and reconstructive surgeons work with a team of multidisciplinary physicians and other health care professionals to diagnose and identify appropriate treatment plans for patients with upper extremity peripheral nerve and brachial plexus injuries. From nerve grafting and transfers to tendon transfers to revascularization and reconstruction, our team will outline the best options for your treatment and care.
Microsurgery is a sophisticated surgical technique used to repair injured structures of all extremities, both upper and lower extremity. These include repair of nerves and blood vessels, as well as free tissue transfer techniques for the treatment of large wounds. Our Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons have advanced training in microsurgery and specialize in microsurgical procedures which utilize state-of-the-art operating microscopes and precision instrumentation to perform intricate operations. These innovative procedures include replantation of amputated digits and extremities as well as microvascular free tissue transfer.
