MILLESI CENTER

for Surgery of Peripheral Nerves, the Plexus Brachialis and
for Reconstructive Surgery

Universal Treatment Concept

The MILLESI CENTER at Wiener Privatklinik offers a universal concept in the treatment of peripheral nerve injuries, pain syndromes and nerve reconstructions, including nerve transplantations.

It has become evident in the last few years that the best results are achieved then when the brain, the central nervous system, the peripheral nerves as well as the muscular system are viewed as a functional unit within the therapy. Whilst it used to be satisfactory that e.g. the bending of an elbow joint could be achieved on an arm that was completely paralyzed after an accident, the aim nowadays is the recovery of complex, targeted movements in severe cases as well. This can however only be achieved if the paralyzed muscles, but most of all the brain are included in the therapeutic efforts.

In the MILLESI CENTER the patients are supported by an interdisciplinary team of the best specialists from the diagnosis through the surgical treatment up to the neurorehabilitation. By conducting continuous research on the subject, the MILLESI CENTER offers its patients treatment methods of the latest international scientific state of the art.

Indications

Treatment of:

Injuries to the peripheral nervous system:
- Plexus brachialiis
- Nerves of the upper extremity
- Plexus lumbo-sacralis
- Nerves of the lower extremity

Aftereffects following neural injuries
- Neurolysis
- Reconstruction of the nerve’s continuity by
- Transfer of nerves
- Recovery of function by muscle transfer
- Reconstruction of muscle balance
- Arthrolysis (mobilization of joint adhesions)
- Tenolysis (mobilization of ligament adhesions)
- Articular fusions for improvement of general
functioning
- Reconstruction by skin grafting and tissue transfer (gliding tissue flaps)

Pain syndromes caused by
- Irritation of a nerve
- Spontaneous or after surgery/injuries

Reconstructive surgery of the skin and the gliding tissue
Neural tumors
Compression syndromes
- Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS)
- Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS)
- Tarsal tunnel syndrome (TTS)
- Guyon’s canal syndrome
- Suprascapularis syndrome
- Pronator teres syndrome
- Others

Spastic paralyses
Volkmann’s contracture
Neurorehabilitation under particular consideration of the brain plasticity (IMF Therapy)

When should you contact the MILLESI CENTER?
Following an accident or after the onset of the problems, you should consult the specialists of the MILLESI CENTER as soon as possible. The longer a treatment is delayed, the lower the prospects for success are.
