Peripheral Nerve Surgery
Peripheral Nerve Surgery treats damage, compression, and disorders of the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord — the nerves that control sensation and movement in the arms, legs, hands, and feet. Dr. Rahul Prasad uses advanced microsurgical techniques to relieve pressure, repair injured nerves, and restore function, reducing pain and improving strength and quality of life.
What is Peripheral Nerve Surgery?
The peripheral nerves connect the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body, carrying signals for movement and sensation. When these nerves are compressed, injured, or affected by tumours, they can cause pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness. Peripheral nerve surgery relieves pressure on trapped nerves, repairs or reconstructs damaged nerves, and removes nerve tumours, using precise microsurgical techniques to restore function and reduce symptoms.

Frequently Asked Questions
It is surgery to treat nerves outside the brain and spinal cord — relieving compression, repairing injuries, and removing nerve tumours to restore movement and sensation.
Common conditions include carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, nerve compression, nerve injuries, and peripheral nerve tumours.
Yes. With advanced imaging, microsurgical techniques, and experienced surgical care, peripheral nerve procedures are safe and highly precise.
Recovery varies by condition. Relief from compression is often quick, while nerve repair or regeneration can take several weeks to months as the nerve gradually heals.
