Brachial Plexus Surgery in Bangalore

Brachial Plexus Surgery by Dr. Dharmesh JB in Bangalore

Injuries to the brachial plexus—the complex network of nerves controlling the shoulder, arm, and hand—can result in weakness, numbness, or complete loss of movement. At Dr. Dharmesh JB’s Clinic in Bangalore, we provide advanced brachial plexus surgery aimed at restoring nerve function and improving limb mobility.

Using specialized microsurgical techniques, Dr. Dharmesh JB treats both traumatic and birth-related brachial plexus injuries with a structured, stage-wise surgical and rehabilitation approach.

What is Brachial Plexus Surgery?

Brachial plexus surgery involves repairing or reconstructing damaged nerves in the brachial plexus. Depending on the injury pattern and timing, treatment may include direct nerve repair, nerve grafting, nerve transfers, or secondary reconstructive procedures to restore movement and sensation in the arm and hand.

Brachial Plexus Surgical Procedures

Primary Surgery – Nerve Grafts & Nerve Transfers

Primary brachial plexus surgery is usually performed within the early months after injury. When nerves are ruptured or avulsed, nerve grafts may be used to bridge gaps between healthy nerve ends. In cases where the original nerve cannot be repaired, nerve transfer surgery involves rerouting a nearby functioning nerve to restore critical movements such as shoulder stability, elbow bending, or hand sensation.

Secondary Procedures – Tendon Transfers

When nerve recovery is incomplete or delayed, secondary procedures may be required. Tendon transfer surgery involves redirecting functioning muscles and tendons to compensate for permanently weakened or paralyzed muscles. These procedures help improve arm positioning, grip strength, and functional use of the limb—especially in chronic brachial plexus injuries.

Conditions Treated

Traumatic brachial plexus injuries (road traffic accidents, falls)
Birth-related brachial plexus injuries (Erb’s palsy)
Nerve avulsions and ruptures
Chronic arm or hand paralysis due to nerve damage
Failed previous nerve surgeries requiring revision

Recovery & Rehabilitation
