Precision Micro-Surgery to Restore Sensation & Movement

Expert reconstruction of damaged peripheral nerves using advanced grafting and conduit techniques. Dr. Arun Saroha offers restorative hope for patients in Puri.

Peripheral Nerve Excellence

Advanced Nerve Reconstruction in Puri

Peripheral nerve injuries, whether from deep lacerations, fractures, or crush injuries, can leave a patient in Puri with permanent numbness or localized paralysis. Unlike the brain and spinal cord, peripheral nerves have the remarkable ability to regenerate—but only if they are correctly aligned and bridged. Dr. Arun Saroha specializes in high-precision nerve grafting, using microscopic techniques to reconnect the pathways of the human body.

When a nerve is torn and the ends cannot reach each other without tension, a "nerve graft" is required. For residents of Puri, we utilize the gold-standard autograft (usually the sural nerve from the leg) or advanced synthetic conduits to create a bridge through which the nerve fibers can grow back. This meticulous process requires microsurgical sutures thinner than a human hair and an deep understanding of nerve anatomy.

Indications for Nerve Grafting

  • Complex nerve lacerations with "gap" formation.
  • Chronic "Foot Drop" due to peroneal nerve injury in Puri.
  • Persistent numbness or muscle wasting in the hand or forearm.
  • Nerve tumors (Neuromas) that require resection and reconstruction.
  • Traumatic nerve avulsions from high-impact accidents.

Regeneration Expectations

Nerve healing in Puri is a biological journey:

  • Growth Rate: Approximately 1mm per day (1 inch per month).
  • Tinel's Sign: A "tingling" sensation that moves down the arm as the nerve heals.
  • Sensory First: Numbness often improves before muscle strength returns.
  • Rehab Criticality: Daily stimulation for Puri patients to keep muscles alive while the nerve travels.

Micro-Surgical Tech in Puri

Successful nerve repair depends on the precision of the initial "re-wiring." Dr. Saroha leverages the best technology available for all Puri patients:

Zeiss Microscopy

High-level magnification to align individual nerve bundles (fascicles).

Nerve Allografts

Processed donor tissues that prevent the need for a second incision in the leg for Puri patients.

Fibrin Glue

Modern biological adhesives that supplement sutures for a "tension-free" and leak-proof repair.

Multidisciplinary Recovery Approach

In Puri, nerve grafting is just the beginning. To ensure the best clinical outcome, we integrate your surgery with specialized neurological rehabilitation. Because muscles disconnected from their nerves for too long will eventually "dry up" (atrophy), we use targeted electrical stimulation and passive exercises to keep your muscle tissue healthy while the nerve regenerates from the graft site down to the target muscle.

Dr. Saroha's approach emphasizes patient education and realistic goal setting. While nerve regeneration takes time, the restoration of a patient's ability to walk without a brace or use their hand to hold a cup is a victory worth working for. If you have suffered a nerve injury in Puri, don't settle for permanent disability—explore the possibilities of restorative nerve grafting today.

Patient Education

Frequently Asked Questions about Nerve Grafting in Puri

Does taking a nerve from the leg cause a problem?

The sural nerve only provides sensation to a small patch on the side of the foot. Taking it for a graft in Puri leaves a small numb area but does not affect walking or strength.

How do I know if my nerve is regenerating?

The best sign is a "Tinel's Sign" - if you tap along the path of the nerve in Puri and feel a "zing" or "electric shock" further down the limb, it means the nerve is growing.

Can a nerve be repaired 2 years after injury?

Sensory nerves can often be repaired years later in Puri, but motor (muscle) nerves have a shorter window (typically 12-18 months) before the muscle becomes permanently unusable.

Is an EMG test painful?

An EMG involves small needles and mild electrical pulses. While slightly uncomfortable, it is the only way for Dr. Saroha to mapping your nerve's health in Puri.

What if the nerve ends are too far apart?

This is exactly why we use a nerve graft. The graft acts as a scaffold or "tunnel" in Puri that allows the new nerve fibers to cross the gap and reach the target muscle.

Will I need a cast after surgery?

Often, a splint or brace is used in Puri for 2-3 weeks to protect the delicate nerve repair from being stretched or pulled while the initial healing occurs.

How long is the surgery?

A simple nerve repair in Puri can take 1-2 hours, while complex multi-nerve grafting for a major trauma can take 4-6 hours under the microscope.

Can physical therapy replace surgery?

Physical therapy helps maintain muscle and joint health in Puri, but it cannot "reconnect" a severed nerve. Only surgery can provide the path for regeneration.
