Microsurgical Nerve Reconstruction

Brachial Plexus &
Nerve Surgery in Salem

Restoring limb sensation, movement, and motor function with high-precision microsurgery, nerve transfers, and neurotization.

Pioneering Microsurgical Nerve Care in Salem

Severe nerve trauma from vehicular accidents or birth injuries can lead to debilitating paralysis of the shoulder, elbow, and hand. At Valli Super Specialty Hospital, our dedicated microsurgeons utilize advanced Zeiss operating microscopes and delicate micro-vascular instruments to reconstruct damaged neural pathways and restore active muscle function.

🔬

Nerve Transfers (Neurotization)

Re-routing redundant nerve branches (such as spinal accessory or intercostal nerves) directly to target muscles to revive shoulder abduction and elbow flexion.

✋

Carpal & Cubital Tunnel Release

Precision decompression of compressed median and ulnar nerves to permanently eliminate numbness, tingling, and grip weakness.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Brachial Plexus injury and what causes it?

The brachial plexus is the complex network of nerves originating from the cervical spine that controls movement and sensation in the shoulder, arm, and hand. Injuries commonly occur during high-velocity motorcycle accidents, sports collisions, or birth trauma (Erb's palsy).

What microsurgical procedures are used to repair severed nerves?

Under operating microscopes, our surgeons perform precision End-to-End Neurorrhaphy (suturing nerve fascicles with micro-sutures), Sural Nerve Autografting to bridge nerve gaps, and Nerve Transfer (Neurotization) where working donor nerves are redirected to re-innervate paralyzed muscles.

What is the optimal timing for nerve surgery after trauma?

Timing is critical. Traumatic brachial plexus and nerve injuries should ideally be evaluated and surgically reconstructed within 3 to 6 months to prevent irreversible motor endplate muscle atrophy.

How is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome treated at Valli Hospital?

Mild to moderate median nerve compression is treated with ultrasound-guided hydrodissection and wrist splinting. Severe chronic compression is relieved via minimally invasive keyhole Carpal Tunnel Release (CTR), ending hand numbness and night pain.

Who are the nerve and microvascular surgeons at Valli Hospital?

Our hand and microsurgery division features Dr. Obuli Vijay Shankar (MS, FNB in Hand & Microvascular Surgery from Ganga Hospital) and Dr. Tamilkumaran (DNB Ortho, Hand Surgery Specialist).
