nerve grafts

Nerve grafts are surgical procedures used to repair damaged or severed nerves. When a nerve is severely hurt, a graft can bridge the gap by using a piece of healthy nerve tissue taken from another part of the body or a donor. This graft serves as a guide, helping the nerve fibers grow across the damaged area and reconnect. Over time, the nerve fibers regenerate, restoring nerve function such as sensation or movement. Nerve grafts are a common approach in nerve repair surgeries, especially when the injury is too extensive for direct repair.
