Neurolysis

As neurolysis (from Greek νεῦρονλύω = " nerve resolve " ) an operation is called, the. , The constrictions of a nerve (usually cicatricial adhesions ), thus eliminating the pressure exerted Nerves are relatively stable against tensile forces, however, are very sensitive to external pressure (eg, with pain, numbness, or paralysis).

There are two types of neurolysis:

• External neurolysis or Exoneurolyse, the surgical removal of adhesions around a nerve.
• Internal neurolysis or interfascicular neurolysis or Endoneurolyse, the free preparation of individual nerve fiber bundles of a peripheral nerve.
