What is neuropexy?

Neuropexy refers to the surgical repair of a nerve or the suturing of a divided nerve back together to allow healing. It involves connecting the proximal and distal segments of the damaged nerve to restore nerve function and enable communication between the affected nerve tissue and the rest of the nervous system. Neuropexy aims to promote axonal regeneration and the proper restoration of nerve pathways. Surgical techniques may vary depending on the type of nerve injury and the specific structure or location involved.
