Microsurgical Exploration and Repair/Grafting

How Microsurgical Exploration and Repair/Grafting is performed

This procedure is mostly performed under a microscope. Depending on the individual situation, direct end-to-end anastomosis, autologous nerve grafting, or nerve conduits/allografts can be selected. Usually, the affected nerve is exposed through an incision to assess the scar and the activity of the ends, and neurolysis and trimming are performed if necessary. Subsequently, microsurgical suturing or transplantation bridging is performed under relaxed, tension-free conditions, and intraoperative electrophysiological localization and confirmation of conduction can be used. In the early postoperative period, the focus is on monitoring limb blood supply, wound and pain management, and subsequent follow-up to observe the gradual recovery of sensory and motor function. The above is general health information and not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocol.
