    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Regenerative Medicine
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Peripheral nerve surgery trends emphasize prompt intervention.
    • Advancements in electrodiagnostic techniques guide treatment decisions.
    • Newer tools like computed tomography (CT) and thermography aid diagnosis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review current trends and emerging technologies in peripheral nerve surgery.
    • To highlight improvements in nerve repair and reconstruction techniques.
    • To discuss challenges and progress in managing nerve injury sequelae.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of current literature on peripheral nerve surgery.
    • Analysis of advancements in diagnostic imaging and electrophysiology.
    • Evaluation of evolving surgical techniques for nerve repair and tumor management.

    Main Results:

    • Earlier definitive treatment of nerve lesions is favored, guided by electrodiagnostics.
    • Autogenous nerve grafts and improved nerve anastomosis techniques address nerve gaps.
    • Shift towards tumor enucleation for benign nerve sheath tumors and improved diagnostics for malignant tumors.

    Conclusions:

    • Peripheral nerve surgery is rapidly evolving with improved diagnostic and surgical techniques.
    • Ongoing research promises further advancements in nerve repair and regeneration.
    • Management of post-nerve injury pain syndromes is progressing, with future prospects in pharmacological and electrophysiological regeneration acceleration.
