About Peripheral Nerve Surgery

Peripheral nerve surgery is a specialized neurosurgical procedure focused on treating disorders affecting the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord. These nerves control movement, sensation, and autonomic functions throughout the body. The surgery aims to relieve pain, restore function, and improve quality of life by decompressing, repairing, grafting, or transferring damaged or compressed nerves. Common conditions treated include carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar nerve entrapment, traumatic nerve injuries, and nerve tumors. Performed by a neurosurgeon, this microsurgical technique often utilizes advanced tools like operating microscopes and intraoperative nerve monitoring to ensure precision and optimize outcomes for patients suffering from debilitating nerve-related symptoms.

Key Highlights

    Performed by specialized neurosurgeons with expertise in microsurgical techniques.Aims to relieve chronic pain, numbness, and muscle weakness caused by nerve damage.Can restore motor function and sensation, significantly improving quality of life.Often utilizes minimally invasive approaches to reduce tissue trauma and scarring.May involve advanced intraoperative monitoring to ensure nerve function is preserved.Targets the root cause of nerve compression or injury for long-term relief./ul

Who is this surgery for?

PATIENT REVIEW

At my age, you worry about...

At my age, you worry about being a bother. Dr. Narayanamurthy never made me feel that way. He explained my medication changes slowly, and his manner was very calming. The clinic at MGM was busy, but he took his time.
