[Iatrogenic surgical injuries of the peripheral nerves].

Iatrogenic nerve injuries in operative area are undesirable but relatively common complications in relation to the total number of nerve injuries. These injuries are mostly caused by objective factors, especially by the nature of surgical lesion. Unfortunately, the role of surgeon is not irrelevant in large number of cases. The authors analyze a series of 39 iatrogenic surgical nerve injuries and the results of 30 repaired cases.
