About

Mr Hywel Dafydd is a Consultant Reconstructive Plastic Surgeon with a specialist practice in surgery of the hand and wrist and limb reconstruction. Their private practice closely mirrors their NHS practice. Mr Dafydd frequently sees patients referred from other hand surgeons with ongoing pain and functional problems following nerve injury. They also have a keen interest in reconstruction following trauma, and work closely with Orthopaedic Trauma colleagues to manage the most complex skin, soft tissue and bony problems with a team-based approach. This often requires transplantation of skin, muscle or bone from one part of the body to another and re-establishing the blood supply using microsurgical techniques.

Mr Dafydd qualified from Cambridge in 2001, then worked in plastic surgery units in Leicester, Birmingham, Coventry and Swansea. Towards the end of their training, they completed a specialist fellowship in orthopaedic hand and wrist surgery at the Auckland Hand Unit, Middlemore Hospital, New Zealand. They were also one of only six international fellows selected to spend over a year learning cutting-edge microsurgical reconstructive techniques in Taiwan. Further subspecialist training was gained from a visiting fellowship to St. Louis, Missouri USA, to learn advanced peripheral nerve surgery. Mr Dafydd is a full member of the British Society for Surgery of the Hand.

“Evidence-based care tailored to each patient — taking the time to explain options and shared decisions.”

— Mr Hywel Dafydd
