NICOSIA, CYPRUS—The European Institute of Plastic Surgery (EIPS) has officially expanded its range of services to include hand surgery procedures, marking a significant development in the institute’s scope of surgical care. This new service is being performed under the expertise of Dr. Theodora Papavasiliou, a specialist in hand surgery who brings a depth of experience and precision to the practice. The inclusion of hand surgery reinforces EIPS’s commitment to providing advanced, patient-centered plastic and reconstructive procedures in Cyprus and beyond.
The announcement represents a strategic extension of the institute’s surgical capabilities and continues its longstanding mission to address complex aesthetic and reconstructive needs with professionalism and innovation. With the addition of these procedures, EIPS is now positioned to serve a broader patient demographic, including those dealing with functional issues, trauma-related injuries, or congenital abnormalities affecting the hand and upper extremities.
Hand surgery is a highly specialized area that requires detailed anatomical knowledge and refined surgical techniques. Dr. Papavasiliou’s integration into the surgical team enhances EIPS’s ability to treat a wide variety of conditions, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, Dupuytren’s contracture, tendon injuries, nerve compression, and joint degeneration. The procedures are designed not only to improve the functionality and strength of the hand but also to restore aesthetic appearance whenever applicable.
The decision to expand into hand surgery is based on the increasing demand for this reconstructive service in Cyprus. EIPS, already widely recognized for its excellence in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, has responded to many referrals and inquiries about hand-related conditions. The new services will be available at the institute’s central location in Nicosia. They will also be introduced to Limassol, Larnaca, and Paphos residents, where EIPS frequently sees patients seeking specialized surgical care.
A spokesperson for the European Institute of Plastic Surgery stated, “The integration of hand surgery into the practice represents a natural progression in our efforts to expand the quality and comprehensiveness of our care. This step allows us to meet a wider array of patient needs and ensures that individuals experiencing hand-related conditions can access the same high standard of treatment that EIPS is known for.”
The hand is uniquely complex, and surgical procedures must be carried out with extraordinary precision. Recovery outcomes often depend on surgical technique, post-operative rehabilitation, and attention to detail. EIPS has invested in the latest medical equipment and continues emphasizing interdisciplinary care, working closely with physiotherapists and rehabilitation specialists to help patients regain optimal use of their hands after surgery.
EIPS’s reputation has been built over the years through clinical excellence, ethical medical practice, and personalized patient care. The institute remains committed to innovation, always adapting to advancements in medical science and surgical technology. The addition of hand surgery is not only a response to medical demand but also a continuation of EIPS’s broader mission to elevate the standards of plastic and reconstructive surgery in Cyprus and across the region.
Dr. Papavasiliou’s arrival brings additional expertise that complements the existing team at EIPS. Having trained extensively in general and specialized surgical centers, her background in hand surgery allows the institute to expand its treatment portfolio while maintaining its focus on safety, minimally invasive approaches, and patient-centered outcomes. Patients will now have the option to consult on a wide range of conditions that affect their hands—whether caused by injury, wear and tear, or congenital anomalies—with confidence in the care they will receive.
The spokesperson added, “We take pride in introducing this new chapter in our services. It’s about giving people access to care, significantly improving their quality of life. Whether it’s someone dealing with the aftermath of a workplace injury or a patient seeking treatment for a chronic nerve condition, our aim is to restore not just function but also confidence and comfort in everyday life.”
As part of its patient outreach, EIPS will begin sharing information about these new services through its established communication channels, including its website, informational brochures, and consultations with referring physicians. Limassol, Nicosia, Larnaca, and Paphos residents can inquire about hand surgery consultations directly through the institute’s administrative office.
This latest addition to the EIPS service portfolio affirms the institute’s role as a key provider of advanced surgical care in Cyprus. With a team of skilled surgeons and a track record of consistent results, EIPS continues to attract patients seeking a combination of medical expertise and personalized attention. The introduction of hand surgery is a reflection of the institute’s growth, its responsiveness to community needs, and its unwavering commitment to advancing surgical care in the region.
