Peripheral nerve surgery is a rapidly advancing field that provides promising treatment options for a variety of neurological disorders and traumatic injuries. However, with this progress comes the potential for various complications, which require a deep understanding of their occurrence, prevention, and management. This paper provides an illustrative case series highlighting the diverse complications encountered in clinical practice, complemented with a comprehensive review of the literature, detailing their frequency, causative factors, and outcomes. Additionally, it presents a series of illustrative cases. These cases emphasize the importance of vigilance, meticulous surgical technique, and proper postoperative care to minimize complications and enhance patient outcomes in peripheral nerve surgery. By integrating empirical evidence with real-world clinical examples, this paper aims to contribute to the collective knowledge base, promoting improved patient care and safety in this dynamic area of neurosurgery.
