Peripheral Nerve Surgeries

What is peripheral Nerve Surgeries?

Peripheral Nerve Surgeries are specialized procedures focused on diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the peripheral nerves, which connect the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body. These surgeries address issues such as nerve injuries, compressions (e.g., carpal tunnel syndrome), tumors, and chronic pain. The goal is to relieve pain, restore function, and improve sensation by repairing, decompressing, or removing damaged nerves. A multidisciplinary approach, including physical therapy and pain management, is often used for optimal recovery.

Symptoms

  • Numbness or tingling in the hands, feet, or affected area
  • Burning or sharp shooting pain along the nerve pathway
  • Muscle weakness or loss of coordination
  • Sensitivity to touch or temperature changes
  • Frequent falling or balance issues due to nerve damage
  • Muscle wasting or twitching in severe cases
  • Pain that worsens with movement or specific activities
  • Loss of reflexes or reduced sensation in the limbs

When to see a doctor?

Consult a doctor if you experience persistent numbness, tingling, or weakness in your limbs. Seek medical attention if you have sharp, burning pain that affects daily activities or sleep. Immediate care is needed for sudden muscle weakness, loss of coordination, or symptoms following an injury. Early diagnosis and treatment of peripheral nerve conditions can prevent permanent nerve damage and improve recovery.
