  2. Nerve decompression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_decompression

    A nerve decompression is a neurosurgical procedure to relieve chronic, direct pressure on a nerve to treat nerve entrapment, a pain syndrome characterized by severe chronic pain and muscle weakness. In this way a nerve decompression targets the underlying pathophysiology of the syndrome and is considered a first-line surgical treatment option ...

    A common yoga kneeling exercise, the Vajrasana, has been linked to a variant called yoga foot drop. [4] [5] Surgical procedures involving the nerve involve: fibular (peroneal) nerve decompression. To surgically decompress the common fibular nerve, an incision is made over the neck of the fibula.

  4. Nerve compression syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_compression_syndrome

    It is a common clinical experience, that even chronic entrapments with longstanding muscle weakness and sensory disturbances sometimes show a very rapid reversibility of some or all of the symptoms after surgical decompression of the nerve. [5] A large number of nerve decompression surgeries achieve 25+% cure rate, and 75+% success rate.

    The sural communicating nerve (SCN) (peroneal communicating branch of the common fibular nerve) is a separate and independent nerve from both the medial and lateral sural cutaneous nerves, often arising from a common trunk of the common fibular nerve [1] [2] The primary purpose of the sural communicating branch is to provide the structural path for transferring tibial nerve fascicular ...

    Another branch observed, that is mentioned in passing in previous literature is the medial branch of the lateral sural cutaneous nerve. [3]In a 2021 study by Steele et al. (Annals of Anatomy), a medial branch of the lateral sural cutaneous nerve was observed in approximately 36% of lower extremities dissected (n=208) with an average diameter of 1.47 ± 0.655 mm with a 95% CI of 1.31 – 1.625 mm.

  9. Neurectomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurectomy

    A vestibular neurectomy is an operation that severs the vestibular nerve, which contributes to balance, while sparing the cochlear nerve, which contributes to hearing. The procedure has the potential to relieve vertigo, but may preserve the ability to hear. [7] It is important to note that this procedure will not reverse the effects of deafness.
