Arthroscopy in Prof. Dr. Serdar Nasır Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, Hand Surgery
About the clinic
Wrist arthroscopy at the clinic of Prof. Dr. Serdar Nasır in Ankara, Turkey, provides a minimally invasive way to treat joint issues and ganglion cysts. Led by a specialist with over 20 years of experience, the procedure uses tiny incisions to reduce scarring and speed up recovery. This method allows the surgeon to see inside the joint and fix problems like ligament injuries at the same time.
Advanced Wrist Treatment with Prof. Dr. Serdar Nasır
Prof. Dr. Serdar Nasır leads the clinic with over 20 years of expertise in hand surgery and microsurgery. He is known for performing Turkey's second face transplant and the first quadruple limb transplant in the world. Prof. Dr. Nasır also conducted research at the Cleveland Clinic and holds membership in the American Society of Reconstructive Microsurgery. This high level of skill helps when working on the delicate structures of the wrist joint.
The Arthroscopic Procedure
The clinic uses an arthroscopic approach for dorsal wrist ganglion cysts and various intra-articular problems. During the surgery, the doctor makes small portals measuring only 2–3 mm. Through these tiny openings, a camera and surgical tools enter the joint. This technique offers several benefits for the patient:
- Minimal scarring due to the very small entry points.
- Reduced pain after the operation compared to traditional open surgery.
- Combined treatment where the doctor checks for and repairs ligament injuries during the same session.
Considerations for Wrist Surgery
Wrist arthroscopy is ideal for many patients, but it is not suitable for every type of cyst. While the recovery is often faster, recurrence rates for cysts may be slightly higher than with open excision. Prof. Dr. Serdar Nasır evaluates each case to decide if this minimally invasive path is the best choice. The procedure focuses on restoring joint function while keeping the physical impact on the hand as low as possible.

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.
