Peripheral Nerve Disorders & Surgery
Peripheral Nerve Disorders & Surgery
Expert evaluation and treatment for peripheral nerve diseases in Kochi, including carpal tunnel syndrome, nerve injuries, and neuropathies. Our neurosurgeon focuses on accurate diagnosis, non-surgical management when possible, and microsurgical nerve repair for lasting relief and restored function using precision techniques and advanced neuro-monitoring.
Peripheral Nerve Surgery in Kochi:
Peripheral nerves connect the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body. Injuries or compression can lead to pain, numbness, weakness, or loss of function. Common conditions include carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar nerve entrapment, peroneal nerve palsy, and brachial plexus injuries. Our neurosurgeon in Kochi is trained in microsurgical nerve repair and decompression techniques.
Diagnosis:
Diagnosis begins with nerve conduction studies (NCS), electromyography (EMG), and detailed neurological evaluation. Imaging such as MRI or ultrasound may help identify the site of injury or compression.
Treatment Approach:
Most nerve conditions are treated conservatively with rest, physiotherapy, splints, and medications. Surgery is recommended only when there is progressive weakness, severe pain, or nerve compression unresponsive to medical care. Microsurgical nerve decompression and grafting can restore function in many cases.
Surgical Techniques:
We use high-magnification microscopes and fine instruments to ensure precise nerve repair. For traumatic nerve injuries, microsurgical grafting or nerve transfers are performed to restore muscle power and sensation.
Rehabilitation & Recovery:
Postoperative care involves physiotherapy and occupational therapy to regain strength and coordination. Our focus is on functional recovery and quality of life improvement for each patient in Kochi.
