The Department of Neurosurgery is proud to be a leader in the practice and education of peripheral nerve surgery. As a regional referral center, we collaborate with health care providers in orthopaedics, surgical oncology, neurology and physical medicine and rehabilitation to provide a full range of evaluation, surgical care and rehabilitation of the following peripheral nerve problems:

• Upper extremity entrapment syndromes such as carpal tunnel syndrome and ulnar neuropathy
• Lower extremity entrapment syndromes such as peroneal neuropathy
• Traumatic nerve injuries (Drs. R. Scott Graham and Jonathan Issacs have 20 years of experience repairing the most complex nerve injuries with a team approach)
• Nerve transfers for restoration of function following spinal cord injury
• Tumors such as schwannoma and neurofibroma (Drs. R. Scott Graham and Brian Kaplan have extensive experience resecting nerve sheath tumors and sarcomas involving nerves in difficult locations)
