India faces significant challenges related to nerve health, primarily due to high rates of traumatic injuries like Brachial Plexus Injury from road accidents and sports, along with work-related repetitive strain injuries. Lifestyle diseases such as diabetes are also major contributors to peripheral neuropathy. Moreover, the elderly population is particularly vulnerable to degenerative conditions and chronic diseases that contribute to nerve damage nationwide.

Says Dr Rajendra S Gujjalanavar, HOD & Senior Consultant, Plastic Surgery at Sakra World Hospital, “A multidisciplinary approach, substantial surgical experience, and extended surgical hours are necessary for the effective care of Brachial Plexus and Peripheral Nerve injuries. Our primary objective is to provide patients with specialized care for nerve injuries by restoring function and improving quality of life through surgical techniques that maintain nerve continuity.”
