Microsurgical Peripheral Nerve Reconstruction

The department is internationally recognized for its expertise in microsurgical peripheral nerve reconstruction in Israel. These cutting-edge procedures aim to restore nerve function and improve the quality of life for patients suffering from partial or complete paralysis of the upper or lower limbs. Microsurgical nerve reconstruction allows for the relief of pain, restoration of motor and sensory functions, and in many cases, a return to independent life.

In addition to treating traumatic injuries, the department is experienced in the removal of peripheral nerve tumors and pediatric microsurgery.

In complex cases, surgeries are performed in collaboration with specialists from other fields, including orthopedics, orthopedic oncology, ENT surgery, and general surgery.

Patients from around the world travel to Israel for peripheral nerve microsurgery and advanced nerve reconstruction at Sourasky Medical Center. The department’s outstanding results, presented in numerous international publications and conferences, have earned global recognition.

• Microsurgical peripheral nerve reconstruction in Israel for upper and lower limb injuries

• Peripheral nerve microsurgery in Israel for tumor removal

• Peripheral nerve decompression surgery

• Facial nerve reconstruction after trauma

• Surgical treatment of neuropathic pain
  

These surgeries are performed for:

• Traumatic injuries (car accidents, sports injuries, falls)

• Gunshot and shrapnel wounds

• Compression neuropathies

Peripheral nerve reconstruction in Israel involves freeing the nerve from surrounding scar tissue or reconstructing the nerve with a nerve graft taken from another part of the body (using a donor nerve with minimal functional impact).

Patients often experience a significant restoration of motor and sensory function in the affected limb. The degree of recovery varies based on the severity of the injury and the complexity of the surgery.

• Discharge is usually possible 1–2 days after surgery.

• Physiotherapy and swimming are recommended 2–4 weeks post-surgery.

• Full recovery may take several months to two years, depending on the nerve’s condition and the procedure performed.

Peripheral nerve microsurgery without waiting is available for international patients seeking prompt, expert care. No wait nerve surgery and peripheral nerve reconstruction without waiting ensure that you receive timely, world-class treatment at one of Israel’s leading medical centers.
