Day-Case Hand & Foot Surgery

In and home the same day — a wide range of hand and foot procedures carried out with precision and care, without an overnight hospital stay or a long NHS wait.

What is day-case surgery?

Day-case surgery means you're admitted, treated, and discharged home on the same day — no overnight stay required. It's a common and well-established approach for many hand and foot procedures, allowing you to recover in the comfort of your own home from the start.

We treat a range of common hand and foot conditions on a day-case basis, including trigger finger, carpal tunnel syndrome, Dupuytren's contracture, bunions, hammer toes, and other soft tissue or bony procedures — your surgeon will confirm exactly what's suitable for your specific condition during your consultation.

Why choose private day-case surgery?

• Consultant-led care from your first assessment through to surgery and follow-up
• A prompt initial consultation, rather than a long NHS referral wait
• Same-day discharge — recover at home, not in hospital
• Appointments scheduled around your own commitments

What to expect

Your first step is a consultation to assess your condition, discuss your symptoms, and confirm whether day-case surgery is the right option. We'll explain exactly what the procedure involves, what anaesthetic is required (often local or regional rather than general), and what your recovery will look like.

Most patients go home within a few hours of their procedure, with clear aftercare guidance and a follow-up plan to support your recovery — timescales vary depending on the specific procedure, which your surgeon will confirm directly with you.
