The nerves in the Central Nervious System (CNS) cannot repair themselves. This consists of the brain and spinal cord. Once damaged or cut they will not regrow. The Myelin sheath that wraps most nerves in the CNS (think of tape around a hockey stick) called Oligodendroglia do not repair either. Over time, the nerves in the Peripheral Nervious System (PNS) will repair themselves, as well as the sheath that wraps most of thses cells, called Shwan cells. PNS is everything outward from the spinal cord, such as limbs. Additionally, some cut nerves may become thickened, like a stump; while some may not condider this change in shape "growth" it may eventually interfere with movement and cause pain (for example, as when a neuroma is removed from the foot and a stump forms at or near the place of excision). After surgery, nerve endings can also reconnect in unpredictable ways, so that touching one area results in a pins and needles sensation nearby.
Some can, well most can, but many are inhibited as far as functionality because of scaring.

What are the risks associated with laparoscopic band surgery?
Lap band surgery has a number of risks associated with it. It is an invasive surgery, so the risk of infection is present. There is also a risk of the stomach wall being cut during the procedure, which would require additional surgery. Make sure to consult your doctor to see if you are a good candidate for the surgery.
What about your nerve being cut during surgery Does it ever heal?
Yes, a nerve that is cut during surgery will eventually heal.
Why does your stomach hurt when you eat to much?
The stomach will stretch beyond it's maximum capacity, but it takes about 20 minutes for the stomach to register that it is full. If you keep eating, the stomach wall will stretch. When the wall of the stomach stretches, the nerves of the stomach wall stretch too. These nerves do not like being stretched, and will send messages to you in the form of pain, telling you to stop eating.
What precautions need to be taken when doing testicular surgery?
Testicular surgery, a group of surgical operations performed on the testicles, is considered major surgery. In all cases, except when the testes are being removed, care must be taken not to damage any of the nerves and blood vessels.
Does the stomach gets more blood during exercise?
No, the stomach and intestines get LESS blood during exercise. The blood is needed in the muscles being used and is shunted there instead of digestive organs
When a patient is intubated do you go NG or OG?
Neither. An NG tube is a nasal gastric tube which is inserted through the nose extending into the stomach to evacuate the stomach contents. An OG tube goes down the throat into the stomach for the same reason. Now there can be a nasal intubation if there is oral surgery being done.
Is a stomach band the best way for weight loss surgery?
The stomach band is the best way to go in terms of weight loss surgery for some people, but not everyone. Before you can use the LAP-BAND� System to help you lose weight and live healthier, you need to qualify medically. This means being currently healthy enough for the minimally invasive procedure
An Overview of Gastric Bypass Surgery ?
Gastric bypass surgery is the surgical process in which the stomach is reduced in size through stapling and allowing food to bypass some, if not all, of the small intestine. The reduction of the size of the stomach will lead to a feeling of fullness more quickly during meals than normal. This will lead to a more rapid form of weight loss due to the fewer amounts of meals and snacks being consumed on a daily basis. The bypass of the small intestine also contributes to the advanced weight loss based on fewer calories being absorbed into the body through the organ.
Can everyone survive an organ transplant surgery?
Since organ transplantation was starting to be successful in the 1960's, there have been significant advances in the surgical techniques and anaesthesia used during the surgery. Thankfully, this has dramatically cut the rates of death during transplantation surgery - these days there are very few deaths actually "during" surgery. To answer your question more analytically, "everyone who has been assessed as being suitable for a transplant, is likely to survive the surgery". I.e, being able to survive the surgery is a prerequisite for being considered for a transplant, otherwise many operations would be rendered pointless. The main "danger period" is actually the ten days directly post-transplant, when rejection rates, blood clots and infections are most likely to occur.

The Gastric Banding Surgery ?
Gastric banding is a surgical procedure involving the manipulation of the stomach to promote weight loss. the surgery will involve an adjustable band being placed at the upper part of the stomach. This band will be adjusted to reduce the amount that the stomach can intake at any one time. This band, based on its settings, will promote feelings of fullness and, in turn, will result in faster weight loss. Once the desired weight loss has been achieved, an outpatient procedure can be performed to adjust the band to allow for a return to a normal stomach capacity.
