Medical tourism for peripheral nerve surgery offers patients access to world-class specialists and advanced microsurgical techniques at significantly lower costs, with top destinations like India, Germany, South Korea, and Turkey providing cutting-edge treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome, brachial plexus injuries, and traumatic nerve damage at 40-60% of Western prices. These JCI-accredited centers feature fellowship-trained peripheral nerve surgeons equipped with state-of-the-art operating microscopes, nerve conduction monitoring systems, and bioengineered nerve grafts, performing procedures ranging from minimally endoscopic decompressions to complex nerve transfers and targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) for amputee pain.

Peripheral nerve surgery is a specialized field addressing nerve injuries, entrapments, and tumors affecting the body’s network of nerves outside the brain and spinal cord. This comprehensive guide covers surgical techniques, conditions treated, and what patients can expect from diagnosis through recovery.
Carpal tunnel syndrome (median nerve)
Cubital tunnel syndrome (ulnar nerve)
Peroneal nerve entrapment (foot drop)
Lacerations (sharp nerve cuts)
Stretch injuries (brachial plexus)
Neuromas (painful nerve scars)
Schwannomas (benign)
Neurofibromas (associated with NF1)
CRPS (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome)
Phantom limb pain
| Technique | Best For | Recovery Time |
|---|---|---|
| Endoscopic | Carpal tunnel | 2-4 weeks |
| Open Microsurgery | Complex reconstructions | 3-6 months |
| Nerve Transfer | Severe plexus injuries | 6-12 months |
Yes – essential for optimal recovery in most cases
Depends on injury type/location – some residual deficits common
Nerve ultrasound-guided procedures
Bioengineered nerve conduits
Advanced neuromonitoring
Peripheral nerve surgery offers life-changing restoration of function and pain relief. With microsurgical advances, outcomes continue to improve. Early intervention maximizes recovery potential.
