What the procedure involves.
Microsurgical repair of damaged peripheral nerves including direct repair, nerve grafting, and nerve transfer procedures. China has strong expertise in peripheral nerve surgery, with specialized hand and peripheral nerve surgery centers performing complex reconstructions. Advanced techniques include nerve conduits, end-to-side neurorrhaphy, and targeted muscle reinnervation.
Step by step.
Nerve Injury Assessment
Electrodiagnostic studies (EMG/NCS), high-resolution ultrasound or MR neurography to characterize the injury location, extent, and remaining nerve function.
Surgical Planning
Determination of repair strategy — primary repair, autograft (using sural nerve), allograft, conduit, or nerve transfer — based on gap length and time since injury.
Microsurgical Nerve Repair
Operating microscope-guided repair using microsurgical sutures (9-0 to 11-0), fascicular alignment, nerve grafting if tension-free repair is not possible, and fibrin glue application.
Rehabilitation & Monitoring
Structured rehabilitation program, serial EMG monitoring to track nerve regeneration (1mm/day), sensory re-education, and motor retraining as reinnervation occurs.
- Restores sensation and motor function after nerve injury
- Advanced microsurgical techniques maximize recovery potential
- Nerve transfer options even for proximal injuries
- Fraction of Western surgical costs with equivalent expertise
- Nerve regeneration is slow (1mm/day) requiring patience
- Complete functional recovery is not guaranteed
- Donor site numbness with nerve grafting
- Time-sensitive — earlier surgery yields better results
