Mr Hywel Dafydd Specialist hand surgeon Cardiff is a fully qualified Consultant Plastic Surgeon, working across both the NHS and private sector. He specialises in hand and wrist surgery, peripheral nerve surgery, limb reconstruction, and complex soft tissue procedures. Moreover, he focuses on delivering precise surgical solutions that restore function and improve quality of life.
Mr Hywel Dafydd regularly treats common hand and wrist conditions. These include carpal tunnel syndrome, Dupuytren’s contracture, trigger finger, tendon injuries, ganglions, and basal thumb arthritis. Additionally, he ensures every diagnosis comes with a clear explanation and a tailored treatment plan.
Moreover, his advanced training allows him to handle delicate procedures with precision. As a result, his patients benefit from quicker recoveries and long-lasting outcomes.
Mr Hywel Dafydd also has significant experience in peripheral nerve surgery. Nerve compression or injury often causes numbness, pain, or even paralysis. However, in selected cases, targeted surgery can relieve symptoms and restore function.
Furthermore, he received fellowship training from world-leading experts in North America, Europe, Southeast Asia, and New Zealand. Consequently, he combines global insight with local experience.
Limb reconstruction plays a vital role in recovery following trauma, infection, or cancer surgery. Likewise, it offers solutions for nerve or tendon damage, stiffness, and scarring.
Mr Dafydd also serves as the designated plastic surgeon for the Swansea Artificial Limb Centre. In this role, he supports individuals managing limb loss. Additionally, he provides surgical options for pain relief or improved prosthetic use when necessary.
However, surgery remains a last resort. For this reason, he always ensures thorough assessment and discussion before recommending operative treatment.
In addition to complex reconstructions, Mr Dafydd also removes benign skin lumps and moles. These may cause irritation—especially in high-friction areas—or create cosmetic concerns. For instance, removal can often be done safely under local anaesthetic with minimal downtime.
Patients trust Mr Hywel Dafydd because he combines surgical excellence with a personal, thoughtful approach. Furthermore, he remains committed to patient-centred care, offering expert guidance at every stage.
