Peripheral Nerve Repair and Grafting are specialized surgical procedures aimed at restoring function to injured nerves in the arms, legs, or other parts of the body. Nerve injuries can occur due to trauma, cuts, or compression, leading to weakness, numbness, or loss of sensation in the affected area. In nerve repair, the damaged ends of a nerve are meticulously reconnected, while nerve grafting involves using a segment of another nerve (autograft or allograft) to bridge a gap when direct repair is not possible. These procedures help restore motor and sensory function, reduce pain, and improve quality of life.

• Purpose: To repair damaged nerves and restore sensation, movement, and function.
• Indications: Nerve injuries from trauma, lacerations, or surgical complications causing loss of function.
• Techniques: Direct nerve repair or nerve grafting using autografts, allografts, or synthetic conduits.
• Recovery: Recovery is gradual and may take several months; physiotherapy is essential for regaining function.
• Outcomes: Successful repair or grafting can restore significant sensory and motor function, though results depend on injury severity and timing of surgery.
