Depending on the cause of the spasms there are several options, some do not require surgery.

Possible carpal tunnel surgery. You need to consult Neurology and a Hand surgeon.
Hello,
There are many different causes of hand spasms. An internal medicine specialist can evaluate for medical conditions that may be treatable with medications or Botox. From a hand surgery perspective, compressed nerves, either due to carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, or a pinched nerve in the neck can also cause occasional hand spasms. In these cases, nerve decompression surgery in the appropriate location ( wrist, elbow, neck) can be helpful. The first step is establishing a diagnosis and understanding why the spasms are occurring.

Hand spasms are not treated with surgery. I would suggest you see a neurologist to determine why you are suffering from hand spasms. Depending upon the reason, there maybe medications that can treat your condition.
