Peripheral Nerve Surgery

Peripheral Nerve Surgery

Peripheral nerve surgery focuses on the diagnosis and surgical treatment of disorders affecting nerves outside the brain and spinal cord. At The Brain & Spine Clinic, advanced microsurgical techniques are used to relieve nerve compression, restore function, and reduce pain.

Treatments

Peripheral nerve surgery may be recommended for the management of:

  • Nerve compression syndromes (carpal tunnel, cubital tunnel)
  • Peripheral nerve injuries
  • Nerve tumors
  • Brachial plexus injuries
  • Chronic nerve pain
  • Nerve entrapment disorders

Surgical techniques include nerve decompression, nerve repair, and nerve reconstruction aimed at restoring function and relieving symptoms.


Causes

Peripheral nerve disorders may occur due to:

  • Repetitive strain or prolonged pressure on nerves
  • Trauma or injury to nerves
  • Diabetes-related nerve damage
  • Tumors affecting nerve tissue
  • Inflammation or scarring around nerves
  • Congenital nerve abnormalities

Early diagnosis improves the chances of nerve recovery and functional improvement.


Prevention

While some nerve conditions cannot be prevented, the following measures may help reduce risk:

  • Avoiding repetitive strain and maintaining ergonomic posture
  • Managing diabetes and chronic medical conditions
  • Seeking early treatment for numbness or tingling
  • Protecting nerves during physical activity or work
  • Timely medical evaluation of nerve injuries

Prompt consultation with a neurosurgeon can prevent permanent nerve damage and improve recovery outcomes.
