1. Why is surgery performed under minimal anesthesia without general anesthesia?
Fasting is usually required prior to surgery. At YONSEI STANDARD ORTHOPEDIC CLINIC, most surgeries can be performed on the same day without the need for fasting. Also, thanks to the lower postoperative side effects, the patient can be discharged on the same day. The reason is that operation and discharging on the day possible are because surgery is performed with minimal anesthesia. Let me now explain the difference between general anesthesia and minimal anesthesia (awake surgery).
General anesthesia
- Since the procedure of general anesthesia is long, the time required for the surgery increases.
- Due to general anesthesia, side effects such as arrhythmia, myocardial infarction, and hypoxia may be getting.
- General anesthesia increases the cost of surgery.
- As recovery time is required, the hospitalization period is increased.
Minimal anesthesia, Wide-Awake Hand Surgery
- Postoperative recovery time is shortened due to no need for general anesthesia.
- Discharging on the day is also possible
- The time required for the operation is less than that of general anesthesia.
- No side effects of general anesthesia.
YONSEI STANDARD ORTHOPEDIC CLINIC have been performing Wide-Awake Hand Surgery with minimal anesthesia to lower these types of risks. The term “Wide-Awake Hand Surgery” may be unfamiliar to you. Wide-Awake Hand Surgery is a surgical method performed with local anesthesia around the finger.
There are many people who imagine the surgery scene with just the word awakening and worry about if and when they will have a trauma. However, there is no need to worry about these concerns at all because the operation is performed while the patient is only awake and never sees the operation scene.
Rather, because the operation proceeds while the patient and the surgeon communicate, patients have high trust in the surgeon without worrying about the shadow doctor. In addition, patients are satisfied with the fact that unnecessary hospitalization is reduced and they can be discharged immediately.
In addition, there are more reasons to insist on hand awakening surgery. This is the advantage of being able to perform surgery more accurately right away. Learn more about it here.
2. How to Make Perfect Surgery Twice as Perfect Finger Arthritis Surgery
Hand awakening surgery makes <perfect surgery twice as perfect> because the patient is awake and the surgery can be performed while while the patient and the surgeon communicate.
Various nerves and ligaments are intricately connected to the fingers. On the patient's awakening status, surgery is performed while moving the fingers through conversation between Dr. Ki-jun Jang and the patient. Since the surgery is performed while directly observing the movement of the nerves and ligaments, the accuracy of the surgery is much higher. Because the surgery is performed after observing the ligament movement, it is possible to perform surgery without missing an error of 0.1 mm.
Dr. Ki-jun Jang is known as a pioneer and authority on Wide-Awake Hand Surgery in Korea through various medias. He has performed Wide-Awake Hand Surgery for about 1,200 patients, and the number of cases continues to increase.
To explain Wide-Awake Hand Surgery in a more understandable way, When Dr. Ki-jun Jang tells the patient, "Thumbs up. Thumbs down again." he checks the movement of ligaments and nerves according to the patient's movements. Then he attaches the nerves and ligaments in the right places for the patient.
No need to worry about the shadow doctor, and patients have high trust in the surgeon because the operation proceeds while the patient and the surgeon communicate.
3. Real case of finger degenerative arthritis surgery (My fingers, which I've been worried about all my life, straightened up)
"My fingers, which I've been worried about all my life, straightened up"
Last year, an elderly woman and her daughter visited our hospital. She said that she came to the hospital because they found out on TV that finger arthritis surgery is possible. I was able to check that the elderly woman had all ten knuckles protruding because of finger degenerative arthritis. She confessed that whenever she showed her finger to others, it was so embarrassing and she also said she didn't know it was possible to straighten it surgically.
In the case of general anesthesia, since the risk is high for the elderly, minimal anesthesia was performed through Wide-Awake Hand Surgery. After ablating the area, finger plastic surgery was performed to trim the thickly deformed knuckles, and and pins were implanted to fix it.
Because we performed minimal anesthesia, i.e. Wide-Awake Hand Surgery, she was discharged on the day after surgery. And a few weeks later, after removing the stitches and seeing her recovery, her daughter thanked us over and over again, and the elderly woman also showed a bright smile and was happy. Not only Dr. Ki-jun Jang, who performed the surgery, but all the staff were proud of this result.
4. CCTV was installed in the operating room of YONSEI STANDARD ORTHOPEDIC CLINIC.
For the first time in orthopedic surgery, CCTV was installed in the operating room of YONSEI STANDARD ORTHOPEDIC CLINIC. This was possible as a result of being confident and proud.
We have been performing surgery transparently based on principles and policies during surgery, and the surgeon actively takes care of patients from beginning to end without a busy surgery schedule.
In addition to this, we paid a lot of attention to the interior of the hospitalization space so that patients can enjoy hotel concierge-level service. By expanding the hospitalization space on the 6th floor of YONSEI STANDARD ORTHOPEDIC CLINIC, we are doing our best to provide excellent service so that patients feel like staying at a hotel even if they are hospitalized for only one day.
There are many patients who neglect the pain and postpone their visit because of the fear feel from the word surgery itself. In the case of finger arthritis surgery, don't worry because it is a really simple operation. If your knuckles are protruding, stiff and painful, we recommend that you consult an orthopedic specialist.
