Miss Tanaya Sarkhel

Tanaya Sarkhel is a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon specialising in Hand and Wrist.  Her NHS practice is with the Rowley Bristow Orthopaedic Unit, part of Ashford & St Peter’s Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in Chertsey, Surrey. She practices privately at the adjacent Runnymede Hospital. Her operative portofolio includes treatments for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome as well as Elective procedures in Hand and Wrist Surgery 

 

Training and Appointment

Ms Sarkhel trained in London, at Charing Cross & Westminster Medical School and after training appointments in Hospitals along the Sussex South Coast and the Sunshine Coast of Australia, she completed her Orthopaedic training on the South West Thames Orthopaedic Rotation. This was then complemented with a Hand Fellowship at the Pulvertaft Hand Centre in Derby

Ms Sarkhel was appointed to a substantive post at the Rowley Bristow Orthopaedic Unit in September 2008. Here she has built her experience with surgery of the Hand & Wrist, continued to maintain an interest in writing and publishing and has made training and education of the next generation of surgeons her priority

Current Practice 

Ms Sarkhel's areas of interest include Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Cubital Tunnel Syndrome, surgery for Arthritis at the base of the Thumb (including Trapeziectomy and Joint Replacement) surgery for Wrist arthritis, Dupuytren’s contracture, lumps and bumps of the hand, ligamentous injuries and Wrist arthroscopy.

In 2011, Ms Sarkhel joined Surrey Orthopaedic Clinic, a specialist orthopaedic and sports surgery group providing a complete package of high quality musculoskeletal care. The Surrey Orthopaedic Clinic is a multidisciplinary collective of professionals practising out of The Runnymede Hospital and other private hospitals.

 

• Basal thumb osteoarthritis
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• Dupuytren's disease
• Finger joint 
• Ligamentous reconstruction
• Nerve compression syndromes
• Trigger fingers
• Wrist arthritis and arthroscopy.

Ms Sarkhal also has expertise in the longer term sequelae of injury such as healing with deformity after fracture and ligamentous injury between the small bones of the wrist. 
Ms Sarkhel is very conscious that not every Hand and Wrist problem requires an operation and works very closely with Rheumatology colleagues and specialist Hand Therapists on both non-operative and operative techniques to improve comfort and function. Wrist arthroscopy makes an important contribution to her practice as well as open surgery such as wrist total and partial fusions.
