Can there be a procedure that a doctor can do to repair a damage nerve?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nerve graft: Nerves can be injured (and repaired) many different ways. Damaged nerves can be sutured back together, but sometimes require a graft in between the nerve ends. Neurosurgeons or plastic surgeons who specialize in peripheral nerve repair typically perform these operations.
