How do I know if I need peripheral nerve surgery?
Surgery may be recommended if you have persistent numbness, tingling, weakness, pain, or loss of function that does not improve with conservative treatments like therapy, medications, or splinting.​
How long does recovery take after peripheral nerve surgery?
Recovery varies widely. Simple decompression surgeries may improve within weeks, while nerve repair or reconstruction can take several months for full healing.​
Is peripheral nerve surgery outpatient?
Many decompression procedures are outpatient, meaning patients go home the same day. More complex reconstructions may require a short hospital stay.​
What should I avoid after nerve surgery?
Patients are usually advised to avoid heavy lifting, repetitive motion, or pressure on the surgical site until cleared by their surgeon.
