What is Nerve Repair & Reconstruction?

Nerve Repair & Reconstruction is a specialized surgical procedure to restore function and sensation in damaged or severed nerves. This treatment is critical for patients suffering from hand injuries, birth defects, or post-tumor excision complications. It often involves microsurgical techniques, nerve grafts, and transfers to regain mobility and prevent muscle atrophy. Dr. Bharat Saxena is renowned for delivering optimal outcomes in peripheral nerve surgery across India.
Common Indications
- Traumatic nerve injuries in the hand or limbs affecting movement and sensation
- Nerve damage post tumor excision or onco-surgical interventions
- Congenital nerve conditions such as birth brachial plexus injury
- Compression neuropathies and nerve entrapments not responding to conservative therapy
Techniques Used
- Microsurgery for precision reconnection of severed or injured nerves
- Nerve grafting using autologous or synthetic grafts for large nerve gaps
- Nerve transfer surgeries to rewire nerve function to unaffected regions
- Tendon transfers in conjunction with nerve repairs for improved hand function
About the Surgery/Treatment
Nerve Repair and Reconstruction is a sophisticated procedure that may be done under a microscope using highly precise instruments. Depending on the location and severity of the nerve damage, it can involve primary repair, nerve grafting, or functional nerve transfers.
Treatment Process
- Clinical evaluation, imaging, and EMG/NCS studies to determine the extent of damage
- Surgical intervention planned as per the anatomical location and injury type
- Intraoperative microsurgery performed to repair or replace damaged nerve segments
- Post-operative care and rehabilitation protocol initiated for optimal recovery
Benefits of this Surgery
- Restores hand and limb function and prevents muscle wasting
- Reduces chronic pain and neuropathic symptoms
- Improves quality of life through regained mobility and independence
- Enables return to work, daily activities, and social interactions
A well-timed and expertly performed nerve reconstruction can dramatically improve long-term outcomes. Dr. Saxena specializes in post-traumatic and onco-surgical nerve repairs, ensuring precise execution and comprehensive aftercare.

Lakshaami Shetty2025-04-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dear Doctor, Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your care and kindness during such a scary time. When the slab suddenly fell on us while we were sleeping on the floor at midnight, I was terrified. But your calm words, gentle approach, and encouragement made me feel safe and hopeful. You not only treated my injuries—you healed my fear too. I will always recommend you, not just for your skill, but for the compassion you show.

Dr. Bharat Saxena is exceptionally passionate about his work, approaching it with the dedication of someone who truly worships his profession. Meeting him changed my perspective on how compassionate and humble a doctor can be, especially in a country like India, where human life often isn’t valued as it should be. In these times, Dr. Saxena stands out, treating his patients with the utmost respect, care, and compassion. I am profoundly grateful to Dr. Saxena for the way he treated my father during his mouth cancer surgery. He assured us that my father’s face would look flawless after the procedure, and true to his word, no one can tell that he underwent surgery. My entire family is indebted to his care and professionalism. We wish him all the best in his future endeavors and pray that his passion for his work continues to shine.
