nerve repair

Nerve repair is the process of restoring the function of a damaged nerve, often due to injury or disease. When a nerve is injured, it may not transmit signals properly, leading to pain, weakness, or loss of movement. Repair can involve surgical techniques to reconnect nerve ends or graft tissue to bridge gaps. Over time, healthy nerve cells may grow back (regenerate) along the repaired path, restoring function. Recovery can vary, as factors like the type of injury and the nerve's location impact the success of regeneration and the return of normal sensation or movement.
