Many upper limb problems can be treated without surgery, and this is always the preferred pathway. If surgery is required Mr Savaridas uses minimally invasive techniques as much as possible; minimally invasive surgery is linked to less pain, a shorter hospital stay and fewer complications.
Mr Savaridas is also able to perform a number of surgical procedures under local anaesthetic, without the need for a general anaesthetic. This allows him to be able to treat higher risk patients with other medical problems, who might otherwise not be able to have surgery.
Getting a correct diagnosis is vital. When you see Mr Savaridas in clinic he will initially take a full history of your problem and symptoms and carry out a thorough physical examination of the upper limb. If images such as X-ray, MRI, CT or Ultrasound scans are required, this will be arranged for you.
