Expert Adult and Pediatric Brachial Plexus Care at Mayo Clinic
At Mayo Clinic, you’ll have brachial plexus surgeons who are recognized nationally and internationally for surgical technical excellence and innovative approaches for adults, children and infants. Our surgeons are experienced in advanced microsurgical techniques, have developed new muscle and tendon transfers, and are at the forefront in understanding nerve regeneration.
In our laboratories for microsurgery and regenerative medicine, surgeons and researchers develop new solutions to repair nerves, muscles, and tendons for faster healing. Innovation by our experts has resulted in progressively more predictable and reliable treatment outcomes at Mayo Clinic. Each year, hundreds of adults and children with brachial plexus injuries come to us for care.
A whole team of experts focused on you.
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.
Experts in treating children and infants, too.
Our surgical treatment team includes two orthopedic hand and microsurgeons, a pediatric orthopedic surgeon and a neurosurgeon specializing in peripheral nerve surgery. Subspecialized radiologists and anesthesiologists with experience in diagnostic and surgical procedures for pediatric patients are available.
Appointments for infants are generally made within a week or two of referral, because nerve surgery is ideally performed early to avoid muscle degeneration from lack of nerve signals. To minimize use of anesthesia with babies, we coordinate diagnostic MRI and nerve tests to take place in one sitting.
