Peripheral Nerve Surgery: Restoring Function, Relieving Pain with Precision
“Surgical solutions for nerve pain, weakness, and mobility loss-so you can feel and move freely again.”
When nerves outside the brain and spinal cord become compressed, injured, or entrapped, they can cause pain, numbness, and functional loss in the arms, hands, legs, or feet. At Vanchilingam Advanced Neurology and Stroke Care, our Peripheral Nerve Surgery Program provides advanced surgical solutions for a wide range of nerve-related conditions-from carpal tunnel syndrome to complex trauma.
When Is Peripheral Nerve Surgery Recommended?
Surgery is typically recommended when:
- Nerve compression causes chronic pain or weakness
- Conservative treatments like medication or therapy have failed
- There is progressive muscle wasting or sensory loss
- Imaging or nerve studies confirm mechanical obstruction or damage
- Tumors, trauma, or scar tissue impair nerve function
Conditions Treated with Peripheral Nerve Surgery
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Cubital Tunnel Syndrome (Ulnar Nerve Entrapment)
- Brachial Plexus Injuries
- Foot Drop due to Peroneal Nerve Compression
- Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome
- Traumatic Nerve Injuries and Neuromas
- Nerve Sheath Tumors (e.g., Schwannomas, Neurofibromas)
- Post-surgical Nerve Entrapment or Scarring
Types of Peripheral Nerve Surgeries We Offer
Nerve Decompression Surgery: Relieves pressure from tight spaces (e.g., carpal tunnel release, ulnar nerve transposition).
Nerve Repair and Grafting: Direct repair or bridging of injured nerves using autografts or synthetic conduits to restore continuity.
Nerve Transfer Surgery: Redirects a healthy nerve to replace the function of an irreversibly damaged one-often used in brachial plexus repair.
Tumor Excision and Neurolysis: Microsurgical removal of benign nerve tumors while preserving normal function.
Neuroma Management and Ablation: Treats painful nerve endings after trauma or amputation to restore comfort.

What is Peripheral Nerve Surgery and who needs it?
Peripheral Nerve Surgery addresses conditions affecting nerves outside the brain and spinal cord. It is typically recommended for patients experiencing pain, numbness, or weakness due to nerve compression, injury, tumors, or scarring, especially when conservative treatments have not provided relief.
Which conditions are commonly treated with Peripheral Nerve Surgery?
Common conditions include Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Cubital Tunnel Syndrome, Brachial Plexus Injuries, Foot Drop, Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome, Traumatic Nerve Injuries, Neuromas, and Nerve Sheath Tumors.
When should I consider surgery for a nerve problem?
Surgery is considered when nerve compression leads to persistent symptoms, conservative treatment fails, there is muscle wasting or sensory loss, or diagnostic tests confirm nerve damage due to trauma, scar tissue, or tumors.
What types of Peripheral Nerve Surgeries are offered at Vanchilingam?
We offer a range of microsurgical procedures such as nerve decompression, nerve repair and grafting, nerve transfers, tumor excision, and neuroma management tailored to each patient’s condition.
How is nerve safety ensured during surgery?
High-resolution MRI and nerve conduction studies guide surgical planning. During surgery, intraoperative neuromonitoring helps preserve motor and sensory nerve function, ensuring precise and safe outcomes.
What makes Vanchilingam a preferred choice for Peripheral Nerve Surgery?
We offer specialist microsurgical expertise, advanced neuro-navigation, personalized care plans, integrated rehabilitation support, and transparent patient communication—all aimed at restoring function and relieving pain effectively.
What can I expect after surgery?
Post-surgical expectations include gradual improvement in strength, mobility, and sensation, along with reduced pain. Ongoing rehabilitation and follow-ups with nerve testing support your recovery process.
Can Peripheral Nerve Surgery help with pain from past injuries or surgery?
Yes, surgical options like neuroma ablation and neurolysis can relieve pain from nerve damage caused by previous injuries or post-surgical scarring, improving comfort and function.
Do you offer non-surgical options as well?
Yes, for patients who may not require surgery, we coordinate with our Interventional Pain Management and Neurorehabilitation Services to provide non-invasive alternatives tailored to the individual’s needs.
