At Mayo Clinic, you have the benefit of multiple brachial plexus experts who collaborate. Neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons, hand and microvascular surgeons, radiologists, physical rehabilitation experts, and other specialists all work together to provide you with an accurate diagnosis and a comprehensive treatment plan.
Because our neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons work together to perform surgeries, this can shorten surgery time under anesthesia while providing extra expertise for you. One expert may operate on the brachial plexus while another obtains nerve grafts from the calf or harvests muscle to transfer to the injured arm.
