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

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.

We had an incredible experience with Dr. Bharat Saxena. My mother was dealing with a highly complex, recurrent post-APR perineal hernia (severe pelvic floor deformation) following her rectal cancer surgery. After a previous hernia surgery failed in Delhi, we were very anxious. I initially reached out to Dr. Saxena with her case, and he was super supportive right from the start. His quick and reassuring responses gave us the confidence to arrange my parents' travel from Odisha to Mumbai. During the consultation, he clearly explained the entire process and did not hesitate to perform the right, complex reconstructive surgery (a VRAM with a VY Gluteal flap), which is shown to have good success for this rare condition. As a plastic surgeon, his expertise in pelvic floor reconstruction is unmatched. Beyond his brilliant surgical skills, he is super approachable, incredibly supportive, and provides absolutely great post-surgery care. Thank you so much, Dr. Saxena, for taking on this complex case and giving our family peace of mind!Posted on Google Vineet UpadhyayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

The entire experience, from consultation to surgery, was handled with great professionalism, compassion, and reassurance. A special thanks to anaesthetic specialist Dr. Bhatti, whose calm and caring approach made us feel confident and comfortable throughout the procedure. The suture surgery was performed smoothly and with great precision, and the care shown towards our child and family meant a lot to us. Thank you so much.Posted on Google Kashish SinghTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
