Peripheral Neurosurgery
Peripheral Nerve Repair and Grafting
Nerve Transections and Repair Surgeries
It is the microsurgical reconnection of severed nerve endings resulting from trauma or surgical injuries. In necessary cases, nerve integrity is achieved by using a nerve graft taken from another part of the body.
Entrapment Neuropathy Surgery
Nerve Compression Surgery
It is the surgical relief of pain, numbness, and weakness caused by nerves being pinched between muscles, bones, or connective tissues. The most common examples include Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (compression of the median nerve in the wrist), Cubital Tunnel Syndrome (compression of the ulnar nerve in the elbow), and compression of the peroneal nerve in the knee.
Peripheral Nerve Tumor Surgery
Nerve Sheath Tumor Surgery
It involves the removal of benign or, rarely, malignant tumors originating from the nerve sheath using microsurgical techniques. Preserving nerve function is a priority during surgery.
Neuropathic Pain Surgery
Surgical Interventions for Nerve-Related Chronic Pain
These are surgical methods used to treat drug-resistant pain caused by nerve damage. Procedures such as nerve sectioning, neuromodulation, or the placement of electrodes that regulate pain signals may be performed.
Peripheral Neuromodulation Surgery
Peripheral Nerve Stimulator Applications
It is a method of delivering electrical stimulation by placing electrodes on the nerve in patients with chronic pain or movement disorders. It can be applied especially in cases such as migraine, pudendal pain, and neuralgia.

Frequently Asked Questions About Peripheral Nerve Surgery
What is Nerve Compression (Entrapment Neuropathy) and Where Does it Most Commonly Occur?
Nerve Compression (Entrapment Neuropathy) occurs when a nerve is physically compressed between muscles, bones, or connective tissues. This condition causes symptoms such as pain, numbness, and muscle weakness, depending on the location of the compression. The most common examples are Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, caused by compression of the median nerve at the wrist, and Cubital Tunnel Syndrome, caused by compression of the ulnar nerve at the elbow. Surgery releases the structure causing the compression, allowing the nerve to relax and regain its function.
How Is a Severed Nerve Repaired, and When Is Grafting Necessary?
Nerves severed due to trauma or injury are usually meticulously reconnected end-to-end using microsurgical techniques (Primary Repair). This supports the nerve's natural healing process. However, if there is a large gap (defect) between the nerve ends, forcing them together causes tension and compromises the repair. In this case, a nerve graft taken from another part of the body is used to fill the gap and safely restore nerve continuity.
How Does Neurosurgery (Neuromodulation) Offer a Solution for Chronic Pain Resistant to Medication?
Neuropathic pain is a persistent type of chronic pain that develops due to nerve damage and is often resistant to traditional painkillers. Surgery offers methods such as Peripheral Neuromodulation to treat these pains. In this method, small electrodes (battery systems) are placed on the nerve to regulate pain signals before they are transmitted to the brain. Electrical stimulation is used to block or mask pain signals, providing significant relief, particularly in conditions such as migraine, neuralgia, or other resistant pain syndromes.
