WFNS Peripheral Nerve Surgery

The GERSAM Legacy Continues! Founded in 2015 by Gregor Antoniadis and Mario Siqueira, GERSAM (German & South American Meeting) has grown from a regional meeting into a global platform for peripheral nerve surgery. This year in Hamburg, experts from South America, Europe, North America, and beyond came together to explore the Boundaries & New Horizons of our field through engaging discussions, lectures, and hands-on sessions. Grateful to all participants for making the event exceptional. Dr. med.

Why do some nerve transfers succeed while others fail? ?? It’s not just about surgical technique—cortical reorganization and neural interconnection play key roles. As shown in the pioneer work of Prof. Mariano Socolovsky (Neurosurg Focus, 2017), proximity of motor areas, distance challenges, and brain condition all affect outcomes. https://lnkd.in/esPwa9AB ??
