FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: method involves examining peripheral nerve with infrared imaging after external neurolysis and temperature gradient is calculated between compressed and proximal intact segment of the nerve trunk. The temperature gradient value being found to be greater than 1°C, significantly reduced blood supply level, availability of local cicatricial changes in nerve trunk structure, no adequacy in external neurolysis is stated to be the case being indication to epineurotomy and internal microsurgical neurolysis.
EFFECT: wide range of diagnostic applications in neurosurgery.
