Peripheral Nerve Surgery

Peripheral Nerve Surgery In Mukundapur

How it Works? 

Peripheral nerve surgery is performed to treat pain, restore functionality and improve quality of life. This procedure focuses on decompressing or repairing the affected nerve. Peripheral nerve surgery can be performed to release pressure surrounding the affected nerve by cutting or repositioning the constricting tissue, suturing severed nerve ends following an injury, and even by transferring a healthy nerve to the affected area when direct repair is not possible. Sometimes, a small medical device may also be placed under the skin that stimulates specific nerve fibres to relieve pain. 

Benefits of Peripheral Nerve Surgery 

Peripheral nerve surgery comes with a range of benefits, especially if you are suffering from chronic nerve pain due to injury or other disorders. 

  1. Pain relief - Peripheral nerve surgery addresses root cause of nerve pain. This helps in bringing relief from chronic and severe nerve pain related to injury, carpal tunnel syndrome or other causes. 

  2. Improved sensation and mobility - Nerve issues can cause persistent numbness and tingling, which can cause loss of sensation. Surgery can reduce numbness, vastly improving sensation and mobility. 

  3. Improved mobility - As nerves heal, muscle strength starts to increase. This improves movement in arm, leg and hands and makes performing daily activities, including walking, holding objects, and writing, much easier than before.  

  4. Reduced dependency on medication - Peripheral nerve surgery provides long-term relief from chronic nerve pain, greatly reducing need for pain medication. 

  5. Preventing further nerve damage - Releasing compressed nerves through peripheral nerve surgery can significantly reduce chances of repeated or permanent nerve damage.
