Hand Surgery in Benalmádena
Hand surgery consultations in Arroyo de la Miel
Dr Alf Neuhaus trained in orthopaedic and hand surgery and performs procedures for conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, trigger finger and Dupuytren’s disease.
Carpal tunnel decompression and trigger finger release may be suitable as outpatient procedures under local anaesthesia, using the facilities of Clínica Sandalf. When local anaesthesia is appropriate, hospital admission may not be required and discharge may be possible on the same day. The clinic provides individual preparation instructions before the procedure.
Improvement in pain or numbness and the time needed to return to daily or sporting activities vary according to the condition, procedure and individual recovery. The expected course and any restrictions are discussed during the assessment.
More complex procedures, including release and decompression for Dupuytren’s disease, may require treatment at a nearby private hospital. Depending on the degree and duration of the finger contracture, Dr Neuhaus may recommend a temporary plaster splint after surgery. The need for hospital admission and the expected stay depend on the operation and individual circumstances.
Follow-up may include wound review, suture removal, splint management and specialist hand therapy through the clinic’s physiotherapy service. Healing and recovery of movement vary with the extent of the operation, the condition treated and the rehabilitation plan.
Funding and insurance eligibility vary by country, provider and individual policy. Patients should confirm current cover directly with their insurer before arranging treatment.

Private hospital care
When hand surgery requires hospital care, the procedure is carried out at a nearby private hospital with operating theatres, inpatient rooms and appropriate clinical support. The exact arrangements depend on the operation and individual needs.
Postoperative reviews may include wound care, pain management, further investigations and hand rehabilitation. Follow-up care can continue through Clínica Sandalf after hospital discharge.
