Dr Nicholas Smith

Dr Nicholas Smith is a Specialist Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon with a subspecialty focus on hand, wrist, peripheral nerve, and brachial plexus surgery.

He completed his specialist training in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery in South Australia, where he developed a strong interest in complex upper limb reconstruction, including both adult and paediatric cases.

Following his training, he was awarded the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons Margorie Hooper Scholarship, which supported a fellowship in complex arthroscopic hand and wrist surgery with Dr Jeff Ecker in Perth, Australia. This advanced training further strengthened his expertise in minimally invasive and complex reconstructive techniques of the hand and wrist.

Dr Smith holds public hospital appointments at Royal Adelaide Hospital and the Women's and Children's Hospital Adelaide, where he treats a wide range of elective and trauma-related upper limb conditions.

He is a member of several professional bodies, including the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons, the Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons, the Australian Hand Surgery Society, and the Asia Pacific Wrist Association.

His clinical practice focuses on adult and paediatric hand and wrist surgery, with expertise in nerve repair, microsurgery, and complex reconstructive procedures aimed at restoring function and improving long-term outcomes.
