In addition to repairing traumatic nerve injuries, it is common for us to operate on entrapment syndromes of specific nerves (such as carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar nerve entrapment, tarsal tunnel syndrome, etc.), on more complex compressions such as thoracic outlet syndrome, and on peripheral nerve tumors.
Recent techniques in peripheral nervous system surgery include nerve transfers, which enable the restoration of functionality in patients with brachial plexus injuries or spinal cord injuries.
