Dupuytren's Contracture (Fasciectomy)

Dupuytren's Contracture is an abnormal thickening and tightening of the connective tissue beneath the skin of the palm and fingers. In most cases, this is a painless deformity and can successfully be treated with non-surgical procedures.

Dupuytren's Contracture (Fasciectomy) at Dr. Maresky's practice typically ranges from R60,000 to R90,000, depending on your specific needs and goals. Final pricing is always confirmed during your consultation, once Dr. Maresky has assessed your individual case.

Factors that influence the cost:

• Number of digits affected
• Severity
• Surgical approach

The consultation is an independent clinical assessment. Final costs are confirmed before any treatment is scheduled.

There are certain non-surgical treatments that are recommended in the early stages of Dupuytren's. These include stretching, steroid injections and enzyme injections. If the non-surgical procedures are unsuccessful, there are two surgery options available: open surgery and needle aponeurotomy.

You are likely to feel relief from your symptoms soon after your surgery, and the recovery time is generally very quick depending on the procedure chosen and the size of the incision.

Most patients experience significant improvement in finger movement and hand function. The success rate is high when performed by experienced surgeons.
