Safe and efficient day surgery – home in 90 minutes
We have made surgical help accessible and easy. With us, you avoid long hospital stays and unnecessary waiting.
- In and out: The procedure itself often takes only 20–30 minutes. Including preparation and bandaging, you are usually finished in less than 90 minutes.
- No fasting: You do not need to fast before surgery. Eat a good breakfast or lunch before your appointment.
- Painless treatment: We use local anesthesia. You are awake and can talk to the surgeon, but you will feel no pain during the procedure.

Procedures and prices hand surgery
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (Nerve compression)
We release the nerve in the wrist to eliminate numbness and tingling in the fingers.
This is one of our most common procedures, highly effective for nighttime pain.
Price: 9 995 NOK
Trigger Finger (Stenosing tenosynovitis)
When a finger "clicks" or gets stuck, it is often due to a tight tendon sheath. We simply open this under local anesthesia so the finger moves freely again.
Price: 9 995 NOK
Dupuytren's Contracture (Krokfinger)
Dr. Maria Vatne performs specialized surgery to remove the fibrous tissue in the palm.
The goal is to allow you to fully straighten your fingers again.
Price: 9995 NOK (per ray)Consultation 1595,-
All surgical procedures begin with a consultation with our specialist (1,595 NOK). This ensures that you receive a thorough medical evaluation, an accurate diagnosis, and a safe treatment plan.
- Included in the consultation: Physical examination, expert advice, and guidance are all included.
- If you choose to proceed with surgery, the cost of the operation is in addition to the consultation fee.
- Should we be unable to perform the surgery on the same day as your consultation, you will, of course, not be charged for a new consultation when you return for the procedure itself.
- We also offer a "second opinion" (independent medical evaluation) for those who have already undergone surgery or are considering procedures elsewhere.
