title: [Peripheral nerve lesions in general surgery].
abstract: Surgical interventions can give rise to peripheral nerve lesions by various mechanisms. The neurologist is asked to define which nerve has been lesioned at which site. We also have to define the type of lesion and its severity. The electrophysiological investigation is a very important diagnostic tool in this particular situation. Together with the clinical examination it will allow to plan an optimal treatment for the patient.
