- Nerve injuries due to fractures or severe crush injuries.
- Iatrogenic nerve damage during a previous surgery.
- Selected cases of nerve tumors (e.g., schwannoma) removal requiring repair.
- Loss of motor function (paralysis) or sensation (numbness) in a specific nerve distribution.
How to prepare
- Comprehensive neurological examination and imaging (e.g., MRI, ultrasound) to assess nerve damage.
- Electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies to evaluate nerve function.
- Pre-operative blood tests and cardiac clearance as required.
- Discussion of surgical plan, risks, benefits, and realistic outcome expectations.
- Fasting for 6-8 hours before the scheduled surgery time.
Risks & possible complications
- Infection at the surgical site.
- Bleeding or formation of a hematoma.
- Failure of the nerve to regenerate or only partial recovery of function.
- Formation of a painful neuroma at the repair site.
- Adverse reactions to anesthesia.
- Scarring or stiffness in the surrounding joints and tissues.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Initial immobilization with a splint or cast to protect the delicate nerve repair.
- Pain management with prescribed medications.
- Gradual, supervised physiotherapy to maintain joint mobility and prevent stiffness.
- Occupational therapy to retrain muscles and adapt to sensory changes as nerve regeneration occurs.
- Regular follow-up visits with the neurosurgeon to monitor progress through clinical exams and repeat EMG studies.
- Nerve regeneration is slow (about 1 mm per day), so full recovery can take many months to over a year.
-
Typical hospital stay:
2-5 days
-
Expected recovery time:
6-18 months for full functional recovery

I've been seeing Dr. Muzammil for...
I've been seeing Dr. Muzammil for my lymphoma for over three years now. The first thing I noticed was how he never rushed. He’d sit, explain the scans in plain language, and actually remembered what we talked about last time. The hospital’s fancy, sure, but what matters is that I never feel like just another file on his desk. When my blood counts dipped last winter, his team called me before I even saw the report. That kind of consistency is what gets you through this.
