Why without an incision

Gentler than open surgery — by design

No incision wound, no stitches, no tourniquet — and you are back to your life much sooner.

No skin incision

Just a small puncture site, no stitches. It heals within a few days.

⏱

Surgery within days

Many patients are operated on within days of their first call — no months-long waiting lists.

🌙

Relief from night one

Most patients report the tingling easing in the very first night after surgery.

🏠

Outpatient

Operated in the morning, home in the evening. Day surgery, no admission.

🤲

Both hands at once

Both hands can be treated in a single outpatient session — one recovery instead of two.

👤

One doctor throughout

From the first consultation to the final check-up, Dr. Bézard looks after you personally.

The methods

Without an incision — or endoscopic

First in line is ultrasound-guided release through a small puncture, with no skin incision. Alongside it, I perform endoscopic release. We recommend what fits your hand, not our schedule.

No skin incision

Ultrasound-guided release

  • One small puncture instead of a cut — no stitches
  • Ligament divided under live ultrasound
  • Local anaesthetic, no tourniquet
  • Outpatient, home the same day

  • Camera view of the ligament
  • Outpatient, under local anaesthesia

OA Dr. Georg C. Bézard

Specialist in Orthopaedics, Traumatology & Trauma Surgery

“I specialise in this one operation because a gentle procedure can change someone's life within days. I look after every patient personally.”

His approach is evidence-based: a precise diagnosis first, then an honest recommendation — splint, injection or surgery, whichever genuinely solves your problem for good. Many of his patients come from Vienna's international community; English is a working language at this practice, not an afterthought.

An English-speaking doctor in Vienna — not a translator in the room

A large part of this practice is Vienna's international community: staff of the UN offices and embassies, employees of international companies, students and researchers. English is a working language here, not an accommodation.

Patient reviews

Don't take our word for it

Real reviews from DocFinder and Google, translated from German — curated for experiences around the carpal tunnel operation.

Absolutely satisfied!

FAQ

What patients ask most often

How long is the wait for surgery?

Usually just a few days — not weeks or months.

Will I need general anaesthesia?

Not necessarily. The procedure can be done under short sedation, a regional arm block, or purely local anaesthetic (wide-awake surgery).

When can I use my hand again?

Light everyday tasks often the very next day. The small suture typically comes out after about 12 days.

Can both hands be done at once?

Yes — without an incision and with the endoscopic technique, treating both hands in one session works well.

Do I have to stay in hospital?

No. It is day surgery — an overnight stay is possible on request, but not required.

Do you treat patients in English?

Yes — consultation, surgery and follow-up, entirely in English. No referral needed. Call +43 660 3737 936 or book online.
