Multi-disciplinary Care and the Practice of Neurosurgery

The Johns Hopkins Peripheral Nerve Surgery Center is a multi-disciplinary clinic that focuses on the surgical repair of injured nerves, the removal of nerve tumors, and the decompression of nerve entrapments. 

Working with other expert colleagues is of primary importance to Dr. Allan Belzberg. The surgical treatment of many nerve injuries and disorders relies heavily upon an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management planning. Surgical treatment is often a last resort, as the risks are many. In the case of muscle reconstruction, Dr. Belzberg often consults with Dr. Gene Deune or Dr. Richard Redett, plastic surgery specialists with experience in these types of plastic surgery reconstructions. They can move muscle from one part of the body to another and Dr. Belzberg performs the nerve transfer to innervate the muscle.
