Hand surgery Treatment in Prof. Dr. Serdar Nasır Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, Hand Surgery
About the clinic
Hand surgery at the clinic of Prof. Dr. Serdar Nasır in Ankara, Turkey, covers everything from nerve decompression to complex microsurgical reconstruction. Prof. Dr. Serdar Nasır is a pioneer in the field, having performed the second full face transplant in Turkey and holding a specialized doctorate in hand surgery. Patients benefit from advanced microsurgery techniques that achieve a success rate of over 95% for free tissue transfers.
Advanced diagnostics for hand conditions
Accurate assessment is the first step in restoring hand mobility and sensation. The clinic uses precise imaging and nerve tests to identify the extent of injury or disease. Patients have access to several diagnostic tools:
- Electromyography (EMG). This test checks nerve conduction to diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome.
- MRI and CT imaging. These scans provide detailed views of bones and soft tissues.
- Ultrasound. Doctors use this to evaluate tendons and other soft tissue structures.
- X-ray. This is the standard method for identifying fractures or bone abnormalities.
Specialized surgical treatments
Prof. Dr. Serdar Nasır performs over 15 types of hand and wrist procedures. The clinic specializes in microsurgery, using an operating microscope for nerve and vessel repairs. Many procedures, such as trigger finger surgery or carpal tunnel release, are performed on an outpatient basis. For complex cases like finger replantation, the clinic provides intensive inpatient monitoring for at least 72 hours to ensure proper circulation.
- Nerve and tendon repair. This includes carpal tunnel release and multi-strand sutures for torn tendons.
- Microsurgical replantation. This procedure reattaches amputated fingers by restoring bone, vessel, and nerve continuity.
- Toe-to-hand transfer. A microsurgical technique where a toe replaces a missing thumb or finger to restore grasping skills.
- Congenital anomaly correction. Surgical separation for webbed fingers (syndactyly) or removal of extra digits (polydactyly).
- Free tissue (flap) transfer. Living tissue is moved from the forearm or leg to reconstruct large defects in the hand.
- Hand rejuvenation. An aesthetic option using fat grafting to restore lost volume in the hands.
Expertise of Prof. Dr. Serdar Nasır
Prof. Dr. Serdar Nasır brings over 30 years of experience to every procedure. He is a member of the American Society of Reconstructive Microsurgery and the Turkish Society for Surgery of the Hand and Upper Extremity. His background includes significant research at the Cleveland Clinic on composite tissue transplantation. This expertise helps patients recover motor function and sensation even after severe trauma or burns. The clinic also integrates rehabilitation into the recovery plan to help patients regain full use of their hands. Patients can request a consultation through Bookimed to discuss their specific case.

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