ABSTRACT
Peripheral nerve surgery mostly involves elective procedures; thus, the associated complications are of great clinical, social, and medicolegal importance. Apart from the general perioperative morbidity, complications during interventions on peripheral nerves are extremely rare. However, iatrogenic peripheral nerve injuries during unrelated surgical procedures performed by those not specialised in peripheral nerve surgery remain the most significant group of complications, accounting for up to approximately 17% of all cases. The aims of this review are to provide better insight into the multifaceted nature of complications related to peripheral nerve surgery-from the perspective of their causes, treatment, and outcome-and to raise surgeons' awareness of the risks of such morbidity. It should be emphasized that intraoperative complications in peripheral nerve surgery are largely "surgeon-related" rather than "surgery-related"; therefore, they have great potential to be avoided.
