autologous nerve graft

An autologous nerve graft is a surgical procedure used to repair a damaged nerve. It involves taking a healthy nerve from another part of the patient's body and transplanting it to bridge the gap in the injured nerve. This helps restore nerve function, allowing signals to travel properly again. Because the nerve comes from the same person, the body accepts it better, reducing the risk of rejection. This technique is often used when the nerve damage is too extensive to heal on its own, facilitating nerve regeneration and functional recovery.
