Peripheral Nervous Surgery and All about it
The peripheral nerves are main components of peripheral Nervous System which is a part of the nervous system of a human being. They are responsible for transmitting information and commands between the brain and the rest of the muscles, which makes them play an important role in movement. However, if these nerves are damaged; will peripheral nervous surgery be a good solution? In the following article, Healing Consulting provides patients with all what they should know about peripheral nervous surgery and other CNS and PNS related issues.
Peripheral Nervous Surgery
It is a set of surgeries that are performed to treat diseases affecting the peripheral nerves which spread throughout the body outside the brain and spinal cord. Patients with peripheral system diseases show signs as pain in nerves of the hands, legs, face, and abdomen. Nonetheless, performing such a surgery will be highly recommended to alleviate this pain.
Causes of the Surgery
This surgery is recommended for the purpose of relieving pressure on the nerve caused by aging. It is also performed as a result of carpal tunnel syndrome which is a common condition among housewives. It might also treat ulnar nerve entrapment that affects the nerves of the arm and relive the pain caused by the compression of the peroneal nerve in the knee. Other causes of the surgery include removing peripheral nerve tumor and treating injuries caused by accidents that damage the peripheral nerve causing it to expand or interrupt. It is also worth noting that PNS system damage is a result of car accidents, sport injuries, such as wear of the knee joint that affects its nerves.
Peripheral Nervous Surgery Process
Before performing the surgery, the patient undergoes a set of medical tests, such as magnetic resonance imaging and electrophoresis in order to develop a surgery plan that differs from case to another depending on the patient’s age, case age, injury location, and the affected nerve type and cause. For instance, in cases of tumor, this surgery is performed to remove the nerve as a whole or part of it. Moreover, in cases of relieving pressure on the nerve, the surgeon, during this procedure, expands the entrance of the nerve canal. In addition, whenever the nerve is damaged as a result of accidents or fractures, the nerve surgical repair is chosen, which involves suturing, dividing, connecting the nerve, or repairing the nerve tissue. Regardless of the cause and type of this surgery, the patient needs to stay in the hospital for a certain period of time after the operation, along with undergoing physical therapy to speed up recovery.
Besides, peripheral nerve surgery is a treatment for the pains cause by chronic nerve diseases; a treatment that restores the effeteness of the nerve and its ability to perform its function properly resulting in improving movement and quality of life to patients.
Briefly, at Healing Consulting, our medical team of neurologists work hard to guarantee safe peripheral nerve surgeries and ensure the best medical care for patients with nerve diseases until recovery.
