Dr. Adam Hebb answered

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.
