Axillary nerve injury is common after brachial plexus injuries, particularly with shoulder luxation. Nerve grafting is the traditional procedure for postganglionic injuries. Nerve transfer is emerging as a viable option particularly in late referrals.

- The study focuses on the surgical treatment of trigeminal neuralgia (TN) linked to vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia, highlighting the methods used and results obtained over a ten-year period.
- Researchers analyzed various treatment outcomes, emphasizing their own technique involving repositioning the basilar artery with minimal surgery-related side effects.
- Post-operative results showed that TN was resolved in all patients, and while some experienced minor complications, overall success rates were high with no recurrence of pain during an average follow-up of approximately 56 months.
Background: Repair of complete brachial plexus avulsion injuries may require contralateral C7 nerve root transfer. The available techniques might allow direct neuroraphy in about 50 % of cases but the others require interposing nerve grafts or humeral shaft shortening. We aimed to see if transdiscal C6-C7 contralateral C7 nerve root transfer is technically feasible and if it allows direct coaptation with the contralateral nerve roots in 100 % of cases.
