Leprosy, while rare in France, still impacts millions globally. Early identification and surgical treatment of peripheral nerve involvement can significantly improve pain and function in leprosy patients.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Surgical Interventions

Context:

  • Leprosy (Hansen's disease) remains a global health concern, affecting millions worldwide.
  • Peripheral nerve involvement is a common and debilitating complication of leprosy.
  • While leprosy incidence has decreased in developed nations like France, it persists in endemic regions.

Purpose:

  • To review the most frequently affected peripheral nerves in leprosy patients.
  • To present a personal series of surgical interventions for peripheral nerve complications in leprosy.
  • To emphasize the importance of timely surgical management alongside medical treatment for optimal outcomes.

Summary:

  • This review focuses on peripheral nerve involvement in leprosy, a condition requiring surgical intervention for pain and functional deficits.
