Hand surgery: Everything you need to know - an interview with Dr Andreas Schierz, Head Physician and Head of the Department of Surgery at Zollikerberg Hospital

At Zollikerberg Hospital, the motto is: precise surgery on one of the most fascinating and at the same time most complex parts of the body - the hand. Hand surgery here means not only modern technology, but above all very precise craftsmanship. This is what Dr Andreas Schierz, Head Physician and Clinic Director of Surgery, and his team stand for. They treat complaints such as carpal tunnel syndrome, rapid fingers, ganglions, hand injuries or fractures with empathy and expertise and use occupational therapy to restore the mobility of your fingers. In this interview, you can find out what is particularly important in these sensitive interventions.

Gout: recognising, preventing and treating the causes

Gout is a metabolic disorder caused by too much uric acid in the blood. Uric acid is formed from purines, which are found in many foods and in all body cells. As a rule, purines are broken down into uric acid, 80 per cent of which is excreted via the kidneys and 20 per cent via the intestines. If less uric acid is released from the body, it is deposited in the form of crystals in joints and causes inflammation.
