Peripheral Nerve Surgery

What is Peripheral Nerve Surgery?

This type of plastic surgery helps to reconnect nerves that may have been injured due to either injury or illness. Often, the surgeon will reroute the nerve pathway to help restore function that may have been lost.

Our team of plastic surgeons specializes in the research, diagnosis, and treatment of a variety of peripheral nerve problems. We provide cutting-edge surgical treatment for pain caused by injury and/or compression of nerves.

Our team of surgeons offers the most advanced treatment options for peripheral nerve conditions, including:

• Headache/ Migraine Surgery
• Advanced minimally invasive nerve decompression surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome
• Minimally invasive nerve release surgery in the leg and foot for patients with diabetes and other conditions
• Innovative microsurgical techniques to improve painful conditions involving the wrist, elbow, shoulder, chest, knee, and ankle, as well as to address pain after pelvic and inguinal hernia procedures
• Groundbreaking nerve reconstruction, such as nerve transfers and grafts to achieve better functional recovery over a shorter period of time
