Carpal tunnel syndrome Treatment in Prof. Dr. Serdar Nasır Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, Hand Surgery

About the clinic

Carpal tunnel syndrome treatment at Prof. Dr. Serdar Nasır Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, Hand Surgery in Ankara, Turkey, focuses on microsurgical precision and modern anesthesia. Prof. Dr. Serdar Nasır leads the clinic with over 20 years of experience in hand surgery and reconstructive procedures. A major feature of the clinic is the use of the WALANT technique, which allows patients to remain awake during surgery without the discomfort of a tourniquet.

Diagnostics for wrist nerve compression

The clinic follows a protocol to confirm the severity of nerve entrapment before recommending a procedure. Testing focuses on measuring nerve response and visualizing the wrist structure.

  • Clinical examination. This includes Tinel's and Phalen's tests to check for tingling or numbness.
  • Electromyography (EMG). This test measures nerve conduction velocity to assess nerve damage.
  • Nerve conduction studies. These studies track how fast electrical signals move through the median nerve.
  • Imaging. Doctors use ultrasound or MRI of the wrist to see the physical state of the carpal tunnel.

Surgical and conservative treatment options

Prof. Dr. Serdar Nasır provides both surgical and non-surgical paths depending on how much the nerve is compressed. For mild cases, the clinic offers activity modification, night-time wrist splinting, and physical therapy. Corticosteroid injections and anti-inflammatory medications may also help reduce swelling.

For advanced cases, the clinic performs carpal tunnel release surgery using microsurgical tools like an operating microscope or loupes. Prof. Dr. Serdar Nasır specializes in the following surgical methods:

  • WALANT technique. This "wide awake" method uses local anesthesia and no tourniquet, reducing tissue trauma and allowing for a same-day discharge.
  • Open carpal tunnel release. The surgeon makes a 2-3 cm mini-incision hidden within a natural palm crease for a better aesthetic result.
  • Endoscopic carpal tunnel release. This method uses smaller incisions to release the ligament, which may help shorten initial recovery.
  • Intraoperative motion check. Because the patient is awake under WALANT, the doctor can check hand movement during surgery to confirm the release is successful.

Recovery and specialist expertise

Patients typically return to daily activities within 2 to 6 weeks, though full nerve recovery can take several months. The clinic provides rehabilitation and sensory re-education programs to help restore hand function. Prof. Dr. Serdar Nasır is a specialist with a doctorate in Hand Surgery and performed research at the Cleveland Clinic. He is an active member of the Turkish Society for Surgery of the Hand and Upper Extremity and has been a professor since 2019. The medical team at the clinic speaks English and German to assist international patients during their stay in Ankara.

Prof. Dr. Serdar Nasır Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, Hand Surgery: more details about the clinic

Turkey, Ankara
Prof. Dr. Serdar Nasır runs a specialized practice in Ankara, Turkey. The clinic focuses on plastic, reconstructive, and aesthetic surgery. This private facility also has a subspecialty in functional hand surgery. Dr. Nasır serves as the lead specialist for all procedures.

Surgical Expertise and Statistics

Prof. Dr. Serdar Nasır attained Professor status in 2019. He received Associate Professor status in 2011. His career includes research on composite tissue transplantation at the Cleveland Clinic. This experience shapes his work in face and limb reconstruction.

The practice reports high success rates for microvascular free tissue transfers. These complex procedures maintain a success rate of 95% or higher. Dr. Nasır also performed notable face transplant work in Turkey. This background supports both aesthetic and functional patient goals.

Plastic and Reconstructive Specialties

The clinic provides a variety of aesthetic and restorative surgeries:

  • Rhinoplasty – addresses both aesthetic shape and functional breathing.
  • Facial Rejuvenation – includes facelifts, blepharoplasty, and chin aesthetics.
  • Body Contouring – offers lipoabdominoplasty, combining tummy tucks with liposuction.
  • Gynecomastia Surgery – uses VASER or laser-assisted liposuction for male breast enlargement.

Specialists use the Simon Classification to stage gynecomastia. This helps determine whether surgical excision or liposuction is needed. Tummy tuck options are personalized based on patient needs. These range from mini-abdominoplasty to extended techniques.

Reconstructive and Hand Surgery

Reconstructive care focuses on tissue loss from trauma, burns, and tumors. The clinic uses a "reconstructive elevator" approach. This method matches surgical options to specific patient needs. Surgeons perform microvascular free tissue transfers for complex defects.

Hand surgery addresses conditions involving nerves, tendons, and bones. Surgeons treat acute fractures and nerve lacerations. They also perform toe-to-hand finger transfers to restore movement and sensation.

Gender-affirming pathways are available for transfeminine and transmasculine patients:

  • Phalloplasty – uses the gold-standard Radial Forearm Free Flap (RFFF) technique.
  • Metoidioplasty – creates functional structures using natural anatomical tissues.
  • Facial Feminization (FFS) – involves planning across multiple facial regions.
  • Chest Masculinization – includes mastectomy and chest contouring.

Specialists emphasize medical safety during these transitions. Patients must pause hormone therapy before surgery to reduce blood clot risks. Nurses monitor tissue color and temperature every hour after flap transfers.

Technology and Diagnostic Capabilities

The clinic uses several diagnostic tools to plan surgeries. Electromyography (EMG) measures nerve conduction velocity for hand injuries. MRI and CT scans help map tissue structures. For gynecomastia, breast ultrasound or mammograms confirm tissue health.

Treatment technologies include modern energy-based systems. Surgeons use VASER, laser-assisted, and power-assisted liposuction. They also apply radiofrequency tools and ultrasonic-wave devices. These technologies liquefy fat cells while minimizing damage to surrounding tissue.

Complex wounds are managed with Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (VAC). This system reduces edema and increases blood flow to support healing. All microsurgery is performed under operating microscopes.

International Patient Services

The clinic treats international patients with a health-tourism-oriented approach. Staff provide medical guidance in English and German. This means clear communication throughout long rehabilitation periods. Postoperative care includes detailed dressing and medication instructions.

Rehabilitation accounts for 50% of total treatment success. The clinic coordinates with therapists for customized splints and physiotherapy. Early mobilization is encouraged to prevent joint stiffness. Surgeons also provide sensory re-education programs for nerve repair patients.

I’m writing to guide everyone like me who has been postponing their surgery for years because of their fears; they always say that the right doctor and the right team can change everything. At the end of my first consultation with our esteemed professor, I felt such tremendous trust that, while planning my surgery date, I found myself doing it. Thanks to the team’s professionalism, attentiveness, and friendly demeanor, the process flowed smoothly. Before and after the surgery, I completed this process with no pain and maximum comfort, thanks to the devoted approach shown by everyone in the hospital. I had my surgery on Thursday and started working on Monday. After the surgery as well, the same care and professional support continued, with follow-up visits. I sincerely thank my professor and all the team members who contributed to this.

I’m happy that I got the body contouring surgery I’ve been thinking about for a long time done with the right doctor. Thanks to both their attention and professionalism, I got through the process very comfortably. Some problems did arise, but of course we overcame them together with my doctor’s experience and care, along with their whole team. I’m also very satisfied with the result. I’d like to thank everyone who contributed.

I had migraine Botox treatment with Serdar hoc a total of 3 times. There was a significant decrease both in the number of my attacks and in how severe they were. As someone who has had migraines for 10 years, thanks to Serdar hoc, I was able to get rid of using painkillers.

I came across Dr. Serdar Nasır on Instagram. I understood that he is a good, competent doctor after learning about him and seeing his eyelid surgery. I’m glad I got to know my rare plastic surgeon from Turkey. Not every doctor can be this successful with every surgery.
