Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Surgical Complications
  • Peripheral Nerve Disorders

Background:

  • Postsurgical neuropathies are infrequent but severe complications with potential medicolegal consequences.
  • Understanding the causes, including iatrogenic and inflammatory factors, is critical for effective management.
  • Distinguishing between these etiologies guides diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the literature on the frequency, causes, and treatments of postsurgical neuropathies.
  • To differentiate between iatrogenic and inflammatory mechanisms contributing to postsurgical nerve damage.
  • To inform clinical practice regarding the diagnosis and management of these complications.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature review of human studies in English.
  • Databases searched: MEDLINE and EMBASE (January 1, 1988 to March 31, 2018).
  • Inclusion criteria: Studies on anesthesia, surgical procedures, and peripheral nerve disorders; exclusion of case series <10 patients and review papers.

Main Results:

  • Postsurgical neuropathies can stem from perioperative factors (anesthesia, traction, compression, transection) or inflammatory processes.
  • Inflammatory neuropathies may benefit from nerve biopsy and immunotherapy.
  • Iatrogenic neuropathies do not respond to immunotherapy and require different management approaches.

Conclusions:

  • Accurate diagnosis of postsurgical neuropathy etiology is essential for optimal patient care.
  • Identifying inflammatory causes allows for targeted immunotherapy, improving prognosis.
  • Further research is needed to fully elucidate the complex mechanisms and refine treatment strategies.
