Can a lingual nerve damaged during wisdom tooth extraction be repaired?
It depends on how badly damaged the nerve is. If it is completely severed, the likelihood of restoration of complete function is low. If the nerve is simply bumped or touched, it will usually heal on its own within 12 months. The most frequent nerve damaged during wisdom tooth extraction is actually the mandibular nerve, which runs through the lower jaw and provides sensation to all the lower teeth on one side.

What nerve is often damaged during cardiac surgeries?
The phrenic nerve is often at risk for damage during cardiac surgeries, as it runs along the surface of the heart and plays a crucial role in controlling the movement of the diaphragm for breathing. Damage to the phrenic nerve can lead to paralysis of the diaphragm and potentially impair breathing function post-surgery.
Dos a nerve damaged in surgery repair itself in due course?
The nerve fibres are covered by endoneurium. For a nerve fibre to repair this endoneural layer needs to be present. There are two types of nerve fibres--myelinated and non-myelinated. The myelinated nervefibres are covered by myelin sheath made of schwann cells. These schwann cells have the capacity to secrete substances which repair the nerve fibre. But, the non-myelinated ones don't have a full layer of schwann cells around them. So, they generally don't repair easily once being damaged. However, in any case, endoneurium should be present for a nerve fibre to repair. In damage of nerve fibre during surgery if the nerve is cut, it means the endoneurium is also cut(damaged) at that site. So, usually that nerve can not repair on its own.
