Ulnar Nerve Decompression in JUVENIS
About the clinic
Ulnar nerve decompression at JUVENIS Medical Center in Vienna, Austria, treats pressure on the ulnar nerve. Specialist in plastic, aesthetic and reconstructive surgery Dr. med. Igor Pona performs hand and nerve surgery for nerve compression syndromes. The outpatient procedure uses local anesthesia and usually takes 20 to 60 minutes.
When decompression may be considered
The procedure may be discussed when conservative treatment has not eased nerve compression. Symptoms can include pain or limited movement, or signs of nerve or tendon involvement. A detailed examination helps the team make a diagnosis and prepare an individual treatment plan before deciding on surgery.
Procedure and recovery
The surgeon makes small incisions, placed to keep scars small. Scars may fade over time. The procedure is outpatient, so no hospital stay is required.
Light activities may be possible again after a short time. Returning to work can take days to weeks, depending on the person and job. A personal rest period may be needed before heavy activity or sport.
Early on, patients are advised to avoid physical exertion. Targeted aftercare or physiotherapy may support nerve recovery. Possible risks include swelling, infection, scarring, and temporary limits on movement.

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.
