Hand surgery Treatment in JUVENIS
About the clinic
Hand surgery at JUVENIS Medical Center in Vienna, Austria, covers nerve, tendon, joint, tumor, and scar conditions. Dr. med. Igor Pona specializes in hand, nerve, and microsurgery, and the clinic has an equipped procedure and recovery room for outpatient surgery.
Dr. med. Igor Pona trained in plastic, aesthetic, and reconstructive surgery at AKH Vienna from 2007 to 2014. He has worked with JUVENIS since 2016 and performs microsurgery, including nerve surgery and free-flap procedures.
Clinical examination and treatment planning
- Clinical examination: A doctor assesses the hand and diagnoses the condition.
- Personal consultation: The doctor discusses findings and plans treatment for the individual case.
20–60-minute outpatient procedures
Surgery may be considered when conservative treatment fails, pain persists, movement is limited, or nerves or tendons are affected. Most procedures use local anesthesia and take 20–60 minutes, depending on the operation.
- Carpal tunnel syndrome surgery: Nerve decompression to address carpal tunnel syndrome.
- Trigger finger release: Tendon sheath surgery for snapping or trigger finger.
- Dupuytren’s contracture surgery: Palmar fascia surgery to correct finger contracture.
- Wrist and finger joint osteoarthritis surgery: Joint surgery for osteoarthritis in the wrist or fingers.
- Hand tumor removal with reconstruction: Removal of benign tumors, such as ganglions or lipomas, and malignant changes, with functional reconstruction.
- Tenosynovitis surgery: Treatment for tendon sheath inflammation.
- Scar correction: Reconstructive surgery for scars after hand injuries or operations.
- Hand and nerve microsurgery: Nerve surgery and free-flap procedures for nerve compression or complex nerve and tissue defects.
Recovery and return to work may take days to weeks. Aftercare or physiotherapy can support hand function; heavy activity and sport require an individual rest period. Possible risks include swelling, infection, scarring, and temporary movement limits. JUVENIS was named among Austria’s Popular Group Practices 2026 by KURIER/IMWF. Patients can request a consultation through Bookimed.

JUVENIS: more details about the clinic
JUVENIS is a private medical centre in the historic first district of Vienna, a few minutes' walk from Stephansplatz. It is an outpatient group practice rather than a hospital: patients come for consultations, diagnostics, day procedures and aesthetic treatments. Sixteen doctors from eight specialties work under one roof, and the practice is barrier-free.
Dermatology and Skin Cancer
Dermatology is the centre's largest department, with four consultant dermatologists, treating conditions including:
- Eczema
- Psoriasis
- Acne
- Rosacea
- Urticaria
The practice places a strong emphasis on skin cancer. Digital mole mapping is used to screen for suspicious lesions and monitor them over time, and dermatosurgery is available for removal. Melanoma, basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma are diagnosed and treated here, and for certain superficial skin cancers and precancerous lesions the centre offers daylight photodynamic therapy, which avoids a surgical scar.
Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery
Two plastic surgeons work at JUVENIS, one of whom is also a specialist in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Their procedures include:
- Rhinoplasty
- Eyelid surgery
- Facelift
- Otoplasty
- Breast augmentation
- Breast reduction and lift
- Gynaecomastia correction
- Abdominoplasty
- Liposuction
- Lipofilling
- Labiaplasty
- Hand surgery
Non-Surgical Aesthetic Medicine
For patients who prefer not to have an operation, JUVENIS offers:
- Botulinum toxin
- Hyaluronic acid and calcium hydroxylapatite fillers
- Polynucleotides
- Thread lifts
- Radiofrequency microneedling
- IPL
- Chemical peels
- PRP
- Laser hair removal
- Non-surgical rhinoplasty
- Injection lipolysis
A 3D facial photography and skin analysis system is used to plan treatments and document results.
Health Check-Ups and Internal Medicine
The preventive side of the practice is served by internists, general practitioners and a radiologist. Health check-ups can be combined with:
- Cardiovascular assessment
- Thyroid diagnostics
- Osteoporosis screening
- Allergy testing
- Lung function testing
- Ultrasound imaging
Individual consultations are available in cardiology, angiology, nuclear medicine, haematology, nutritional medicine, orthopaedics, vascular surgery and psychiatry. Botulinum toxin is also used therapeutically at JUVENIS for chronic migraine, excessive sweating and night-time teeth grinding.
Team and Recognition
JUVENIS was co-founded in 2012 by dermatologist a.o. Univ. Prof. Dr. Tamara Kopp, who still practises there. In the 2026 KURIER doctor ranking, four JUVENIS physicians were named among Austria's most popular doctors: Prof. Kopp, dermatologist Dr. Christine Bangert, plastic surgeon Dr. Igor Pona and plastic and maxillofacial surgeon Dr. Dr. Bernhard Moser. The practice itself was named one of the most popular group practices of 2026 in the same KURIER and IMWF ranking.
JUVENIS is a private practice and does not bill Austrian public health insurance.
