Objectives:
• Create a framework for assessing failed nerve decompression and reconstruction.
• Provide technical pearls to maximize surgical efficacy and minimize complications for nerve surgery.
• Understand the etiologies and treatment options for failed nerve surgeries.
• Establish a realistic risk: benefit analysis applicable to a variety of revision nerve surgeries.
• Maximize clinical outcomes following revision nerve surgery.

Course Summary:
Widely considered safe and effective, nerve decompression surgeries are some of the most commonly performed procedures. Failure to achieve expected clinical improvement or, even worse, to suffer a complication is understandably disconcerting to both the surgeon and the patient. Missed diagnoses, incomplete release, recurrent scarring, and iatrogenic injury must all be considered. Failed nerve reconstruction, on the other hand, is unfortunately a more common experience and may be related to either technical or physiologic etiologies-the differentiation of which can be challenging even for the most experienced clinicians.
