BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Concern for block-related injury and liability has dissuaded many anesthesiologists from using regional anesthesia for eye and extremity surgery, despite many studies demonstrating the benefits of regional over general anesthesia. To determine injury patterns and liability associated with eye and peripheral nerve blocks, we re-examined the American Society of Anesthesi...

Peripheral nerve injuries, particularly in the upper limb, may have devastating consequences. The outcome of injury is determined by the amount of cellular damage, and by variables which include the site of the lesion, the degree of disruption of the conne...

383 August 2014 P OSTOPERATIVE nerve injuries (PNIs) have anesthetic, patient, and surgical contributions and determining the etiology may be challenging when peripheral nerve blockade is used. Evaluating PNI relies on clinical assessment, electrodiagnostic testing, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI of peripheral nerves can diagnose external compression or loss of nerve continuity and i...

Therapeutic strategies for neurological deficits and for promoting nerve regeneration after peripheral nerve injuries have received much focus in clinical research. Advances in basic research in recent years have increased our understanding of the anatomy of peripheral nerves and the importance of the microenvironment. Various new intervention methods have been developed, but with varying effec...

peripheral nerve injuries caused by traffic accidents, resections of tumors or iatrogenic side effects of the surgeries are few of the most common form of trauma occurring with up to 500,000 cases each year in iran. conventional strategies including nerve coaptation, and the application of autografts, allografts and xenografts are restricted due to the limited availability of donors, immune-rej...

Ludwig Guttmann spent five crucial years in Oxford between 1939 and 1944, carrying out fundamental research in peripheral nerve regeneration and the rehabilitation of patients with peripheral nerve injuries. He worked with Peter Medawar, John Zachary Young, Graham Weddell, Ernst Gutmann and others. He dismissed this period of his life, but the experience he gained was critical for his subsequen...

Peripheral nerve injury can lead to chronic pain, paralysis, and loss of sensation, severely affecting quality life. Spinal cord stimulation has been used in the clinic provide pain relief arising from peripheral injuries, however, its ability restore function after have not explored. Neuromodulation spinal through transcutaneous (tSCS), when paired with activity-based training, shown promising...

Injection nerve palsy (INP) in the median nerve is an iatrogenic peripheral nerve injury that can be inflicted by a faulty intramuscular injection in the median nerve area. The literature reports a 2% incidence of INP among all peripheral nerve injuries. The incidence of INP in developed countries has decreased significantly during the past decade, but the injury appears to remain prevalent in ...

Traumatic peripheral nerve injury is a dramatic condition present in many of the injuries to the upper and lower extremities. An understanding of its physiopathology and selection of a suitable time for surgery are necessary for proper treatment of this challenging disorder. This article reviews the physiopathology of traumatic peripheral nerve injury, considers the most used classification, an...
