Tumors involving peripheral nerves may be extremely challenging lesions to diagnose and treat. In order to optimize their management, physicians should have a thorough knowledge of peripheral nerve anatomy and pathology (both gross and microscopic), as well as familiarity with microsurgical techniques and intraoperative neurophysiological recording.This compendium deals with all aspects of tumors affecting peripheral nerves, from diagnosis to treatment; the topics it addresses range from epidemiology, anatomy, physiology, pathology, and clinical diagnosis to electrophysiology, imaging, genetic/cytomolecular aspects. Surgical approaches, biopsies and resection of various benign, malignant and pseudo-tumoral lesions, plexus tumors (both brachial and lumbosacral), and adjunctive treatment modalities and pain-related issues are described in detail.The book is intended not only for neurosurgeons, hand surgeons, plastic and orthopedic surgeons new to the field, but also for seasoned specialists who wish to update their knowledge with new insights based on robust experimental and clinical material. In addition, it will be a helpful tool for general and oncological surgeons who are sometimes faced with the treatment of mass lesions that may be potential nerve tumors, and for all practitioners who are engaged in the arduous struggle to bring relief to patients affected by these lesions.

Brachial plexus injury (BPI) is one of the most functionally devastating injuries, as it causes substantial debilitation and long-term difficulties in daily activities. The burden for the patient and the caregiver may arise not only from neurological disability but also from psychosocial and socioeconomic factors.This injury is more prevalent among young men aged 15 to 25 and is primarily caused by road accidents, especially those involving motorbikes. Other significant causes include obstetric injuries, severe trauma from falls, direct or blunt blows, penetrating injuries, forced traction, and compression injuries.If a nerve has been divided by a sharp laceration, it can usually be repaired with a direct suture. If a nerve tract has been damaged, as is often the case when it has been subjected to severe traction injuries, repair will require a nerve graft. Brachial plexus nerve grafts are typically required for lacerations to achieve a tension-free repair. While neurolysis, nerve repair, and nerve grafting have been employed to address stretching plexus injuries, nerve transfers utilize an undamaged nerve to provide motor input over a relatively short distance to reinnervate a denervated muscle. This approach has become the preferred and most extensively studied technique for nerve repair today, with numerous pathways aiming to enhance functional outcomes. So far, no comprehensive effort has been made to categorize and classify the various nerve transfer techniques and procedures for BPI patients; this is the first book to accomplish that. Neurosurgeons, plastic surgeons, orthopedic surgeons, and hand surgeons must understand and select the most effective methods for treating their BPI patients.
