title: [Treatment of peripheral nerves in a district hospital].
abstract: The authors submit the results of 23 operations performed on peripheral nerves of the upper extremity in a district hospital. They emphasize the good cooperation of the surgeon with the neurologist, the importance of clinical and EMG examinations for diagnosis as well as during evaluation of the accomplished operation. In cooperation with the Physical Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences it proved possible to reconstruct for surgical purposes a common colposcope so that it can be used for microsurgical operations. A brief description of the apparatus is given in the paper. From a total of 23 performed operations a satisfactory result was recorded in 87% of the operated patients.
