Why and how are nerves reconstructed?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The correct restoration of injured or destroyed peripheral nerves is undoubtedly the greatest achievement of my teacher, Univ.-Prof. Dr. Hanno Millesi. He discovered that it is better not to suture the two ends of a severed nerve directly together when the distance between them exceeds a certain length, but rather to bridge the gap (the \u201cdefect\u201d) between the two ends by transplanting an expendable nerve from the patient\u2019s own body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This discovery made Prof. Millesi world-famous. It was based on the realization that it is absolutely essential to connect nerve ends without any tension whatsoever. If, instead, severed nerve ends are sutured under tension, this triggers a scar reaction at the suture site, which forms a mechanical barrier and impedes or prevents the regrowth of nerve fibers. The reasoning was simple: nerves respond to tension or pressure just like any other tissue \u2014 by producing scar tissue. To ensure complete tension-free conditions at the suture site, it is therefore better to accept a longer regeneration distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The principles established by Prof. Millesi for the surgery of peripheral nerves represent the current international standard and have helped countless people heal and regain lost functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The health insurance funds naturally cover all costs for the procedure.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I know Dr. Turkof through a friend who came all the way from Germany specifically for him. She was very happy with him and recommended him to me, as I was really struggling with dark under-eye circles. My surgery was 3 months ago and I am very pleased with the natural result.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
