Neuroplasty Treatment in India
About Neuroplasty
Key Highlights
-
Minimally invasive microsurgical technique for precise nerve decompression.Targeted relief from chronic nerve pain, numbness, and tingling (paresthesia).Can prevent permanent nerve damage and muscle wasting when performed timely.Often performed on an outpatient basis, allowing for same-day discharge.High success rates in improving function and quality of life for conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome.Uses small incisions, which typically leads to less post-operative pain and scarring./ul
Who is this surgery for?
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (median nerve compression at the wrist) unresponsive to conservative care.
- Ulnar Nerve Entrapment (cubital tunnel syndrome) at the elbow.
- Peroneal Nerve Entrapment at the knee causing foot drop.
- Post-traumatic or post-surgical nerve adhesions and scarring (e.g., from previous surgery or injury).
- Chronic nerve compression leading to significant muscle weakness or atrophy.
- Persistent neuropathic pain that disrupts daily activities and sleep.
- Confirmed nerve compression via diagnostic tests like Electromyography (EMG) and Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS).
How to prepare
- Complete a thorough pre-operative evaluation, including medical history and physical examination.
- Undergo necessary diagnostic imaging (MRI, Ultrasound) and nerve function tests (EMG/NCS).
- Discuss all current medications with the surgeon; you may need to stop blood thinners (e.g., aspirin, warfarin) several days prior.
- Inform the surgical team of any allergies, especially to anesthesia or medications.
- Follow fasting instructions (typically no food or drink for 6-8 hours before surgery).
- Arrange for transportation home post-procedure, as you will not be able to drive.
- Plan for post-operative support at home for the initial recovery days.
Risks & possible complications
- Infection at the surgical site.
- Bleeding or hematoma formation.
- Damage to surrounding nerves, blood vessels, or tendons.
- Incomplete relief of symptoms or recurrence of nerve compression.
- Adverse reaction to anesthesia.
- Formation of new scar tissue (adhesions) around the nerve.
- Temporary or, rarely, permanent increase in pain, numbness, or weakness.
- Blood clots (Deep Vein Thrombosis).
Recovery & hospital stay
- The surgical site will be bandaged, and the limb may be placed in a splint or sling initially for protection.
- Pain is managed with prescribed medications; keeping the limb elevated helps reduce swelling.
- Incision care is crucial: keep the area clean and dry as instructed; watch for signs of infection (redness, fever, discharge).
- Gradual, guided movement is encouraged soon after surgery to prevent stiffness, but heavy lifting is restricted.
- A structured course of occupational or physical therapy is often prescribed to restore strength, flexibility, and function.
- Follow-up appointments are necessary for suture removal (if non-dissolvable) and to monitor healing progress.
- Full functional recovery and return to all normal activities can take several weeks to a few months.
-
Typical hospital stay:
Outpatient to 1 day
-
Expected recovery time:
2-6 weeks for initial recovery, 3-6 months for full functional return

Vihaan Garcia, a 28-year-old software engineer...
Vihaan Garcia, a 28-year-old software engineer and amateur guitarist, began experiencing debilitating pain and numbness in his right hand and forearm six months ago. Initially dismissed as carpal tunnel from long coding sessions, the symptoms progressed to include a constant burning sensation and weakness that made typing painful and playing guitar impossible. An MRI revealed severe scar tissue (epidural fibrosis) compressing the median nerve in his wrist, a complication from a minor bicycle injury years prior. His neurosurgeon, Dr. Evans, recommended a minimally invasive neuroplasty to release the nerve from the constricting scar tissue. Vihaan was terrified at the prospect of surgery on his hand, fearing permanent damage to his career and passion. The outpatient procedure, guided by ultrasound, was quick with only a small incision. The relief was almost immediate upon waking; the crushing pressure was gone. After two weeks of careful rest and six weeks of occupational therapy, he regained full strength and sensation. Emotionally, he transitioned from a state of anxious despair, feeling his identity slipping away, to profound gratitude and a renewed zest for his work and music, no longer living in constant pain.
