-
Improvement of function by muscle transfers
-
Tissue coverage after trauma, tumor or infection
-
Preserving an organ that is in danger
-
amputated organ transplants
-
Complex bone grafts for the treatment of deficiency or lack of connection after fracture
Peripheral nerve surgery
Peripheral Nerve Surgery is a field that incorporates surgical capabilities from the areas of hand surgery, neurosurgery and plastic surgery. The accumulated knowledge gained in recent years allows for the recovery of both post-acute and chronic injury related to the peripheral nervous system. Nerve transfer surgery is an important tool in surgical treatment.
