A nerve injury can be life changing. It can come with functional problems and debilitating pain which have a profound impact on your quality of life.
A nerve injury can be life changing. It can come with functional problems and debilitating pain which have a profound impact on your quality of life.
The first requirement is a careful assessment of the cause of the nerve problem and how it can be improved. This might involve MRI scans or a detailed electrical study of the affected nerve.
The surgical management of nerve injuries can involve a number of techniques. The approach is unique to each patient and each problem.
Any patient with a nerve problem or experiencing nerve pain, or problems with function could benefit from nerve repair surgery, in particular if you:
Have suffered an injury whether large (a traumatic injury to the leg) or small (a damaged finger).
Have issues with your hands e.g. carpal tunnel syndrome.
Have had an amputation and are experience nerve issues.
All surgery involves some degree of scarring but this is always kept to an absolute minimum.
In terms of how the scars will heal and fade over time, everyone is different and the appearance will depend on skin tone, elasticity and how your skin heals.
I perform all of my operations at leading London hospitals with full emergency care available. As with any surgical procedure, it's essential we discuss the risks together so you are fully informed of what you are undertaking.
While most patients experience no significant complications, potential risks include:
Working at top teaching hospitals and private hospitals across London, easily accessible from Waterloo, Victoria and London Bridge stations, including a new clinic at Battersea Power Station.
