Mastery of the peripheral nerves for the surgeon: clear guidance drawn from extensive experience in wartime injuries.

In this authoritative work, Stiles outlines the foundational anatomy, diagnostic considerations, and surgical strategies for injuries to the peripheral spinal nerves. The book emphasizes careful case assessment, appropriate choice of operation, and the realities of complex nerve repair, including nerve grafts, nerve flaps, and tendinous alternatives. It blends technical detail with practical wisdom to help surgeons predict outcomes and avoid common pitfalls.

Beginning with introductory concepts and anatomical foundations, the volume moves through the brachial plexus and the precise distribution of nerve roots. It then guides the reader through operative approaches, exposure techniques, and the management of challenging cases where scarring, vascular involvement, or missile injuries complicate treatment. The work presents a spectrum of procedures, from nerve reconstructions to tendon-transfer concepts, and it discusses postoperative care to optimize function and healing.

How to diagnose nerve injuries and distinguish root lesions from plexus involvement.
Step-by-step operative strategies for complex exposures and nerve repair.
Techniques for managing complications, including scar tissue, vascular structures, and bone involvement.
Postoperative care, rehabilitation, and considerations for functional recovery.

Ideal for surgeons and residents seeking a practical, field-informed approach to peripheral nerve injuries and their treatment.
