I had DUPYUTRENS Contracture on both hands. Mr Talawadaker performed both procedures. From first contact by telephone after sending pictures of my left hand Mr Talawadaker was brilliant. He explained fully what the problem was and what was necessary to correct this. I was fully advised of all the risks that may be involved. Mr Talawadaker sent me notes from St Thomas;s Hospital in London giving detailed explanation of the problem I had. The fist procedure was performed in October 2021 at Westmoreland Hospital Kendal. When I returned from the surgery my finger which had been bent at 90 degrees was now straight. Within a few weeks I had fully recovered and had full use once more of the hand. The second procedure was performed in May 2022 at Spire Fylde Coast Hospital in Blackpool. Prior to the procedure Mr Talawadaker came and spoke with me and confirmed the procedure. At that time my little finger on right hand was bent over at around 160 degrees. After I returned from surgery my finger was straight. Within a few weeks I again had full use of the hand. I was fortunate in that I experienced no pain in either procedure. Mr Talawadaker's approach and patient understanding is magnificent. I highly recommend him and cannot thank him enough. Mr Talawadaker has given me my hands back and I cannot thank him enoiugh.
