      Dr. Zadeh Explains

      Minimally Invasive Hand Surgery


      Dr. Teanoosh Zadeh — Certified Hand & Reconstructive Microsurgeon with 30+ years of experience, former senior hand surgeon at the McGill University Health Centre and senior member of the Québec Reimplantation Program.

      Minimally invasive hand surgery uses smaller incisions, less soft-tissue dissection, and frequently local or regional anesthesia to treat common hand and wrist problems with faster recovery and less downtime. Techniques include endoscopic, percutaneous (needle) and mini-open approaches chosen to match your diagnosis and goals.

      Causes

      (When and why minimally invasive surgery is considered)
      Most hand conditions begin with tendon irritation, nerve compression, or abnormal fascia. When symptoms persist despite non-surgical care—or when there is locking, progressive contracture, or nerve changes—a minimally invasive procedure may be recommended to relieve the tight structure while preserving surrounding tissues.

      STEP BY STEP MINIMALLY INVASIVE HAND SURGERY


      Signs and Symptoms

      You may be a candidate if you have one or more of the following:

       

      • Numbness/tingling in the thumb, index, and middle finger—especially at night (carpal tunnel features)
      • Painful clicking/locking of a finger or thumb (trigger finger/thumb)
      • Palmar cords or nodules with progressive bending of a finger (Dupuytren’s)
      • Pain at the base of the thumb affecting pinch and daily tasks (CMC arthritis)

       

      Non Surgical Treatment

      We always consider non-operative options first, including splints/bracing, activity modification & ergonomics, hand therapy, and targeted injections when appropriate. Many patients improve without surgery; if not, minimally invasive procedures can provide reliable relief with shorter convalescence.

        FAQ

        Answers to Frequently Asked Questions About Minimally Invasive Hand Surgery Below


        What is “minimally invasive” hand surgery?

        Procedures performed through smaller incisions and limited soft-tissue dissection (endoscopic, percutaneous, or mini-open) to reduce pain, scarring, and downtime.

        Which hand problems can be treated this way?

        Commonly: carpal tunnel syndrome (endoscopic/open mini), trigger finger (percutaneous or mini-open A1 release), Dupuytren’s (needle fasciotomy/collagenase where available), and select base-of-thumb (CMC) arthritis procedures.

        Do you try non-surgical care first?

        Yes. Bracing, therapy, ergonomics and targeted injections are considered before surgery whenever appropriate.

        What anesthesia is used?

        Often local anesthesia (wide-awake) or regional block, sometimes with light sedation. General anesthesia is rarely required.

        Is endoscopic better than open?

        Both aim to fix the same problem; endoscopic often speeds early recovery and minimizes scars, while mini-open offers direct visualization. Choice depends on safety, anatomy, and your goals.
