As part of his extensive surgical training, Dr. Stasch has worked in Plastic Surgery units in the UK and Germany which also specialized in Hand Surgery – allowing him to learn from the best teachers (Plastic Surgery Units in Livingstone, Edinburgh and Norwich, and Luisenhospital Aachen, Germany) and treating thousands of hand surgical conditions, including highly complex microsurgical reconstructions for finger amputations, wrist arthroscopy for ligamental and meniscus damage, joint replacements and joint fusion, distal radius fractures and peripheral nerve surgery.
