In the long term, limited fasciectomy is currently the most reliable treatment for Dupuytren’s contracture.
-
The risk for complications is significant, certainly in recurrent disease and in the presence of abundant scar tissue.
-
Meticulous surgical technique is mandatory.
-
Microsurgery increases magnification from four times (with surgical loupes) up to 40 times.
-
Using the microscope in Dupuytren’s surgery, a technique named microfasciectomy is likely to increase both safety and efficiency by preventing instead of treating surgical complications.
-
Increased experience with microsurgery will benefit Dupuytren’s treatment and hand surgery in general.
