Digital nerve repair stitches together a cut nerve in a finger to help bring back feeling after an injury including a deep cut.

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust says that each finger has two digital nerves carrying touch and temperature signals, and because they do not move the finger, injury causes numbness rather than weakness.

The repair is carried out with very fine stitches under magnification.

The trust points out that the outer layer of the nerve heals in three to four weeks, a splint, where used, is worn for up to six weeks, and the nerve fibres then regrow at about 1 mm a day, so feeling commonly starts to return at about three months and may never be fully normal.

While feeling is reduced, care is required with heat, cold and sharp objects, and sensitivity to cold and tingling are common.

Flying home: aviation guidance sets no single wait for bone and joint operations, but leg surgery makes clots on long flights more likely, so ask how to prevent them; UK Civil Aviation Authority medical guidance suggests 24 to 48 hours after a plaster cast.

A Gurgaon quote for digital nerve repair is normally made up of these items:

• Tests before the operation: X-rays, other scans and an anaesthetic check.
• Theatre and anaesthetic: charged mainly by operating time.
• Implant choice: brand and type of joint, plate or screws.
• Rehabilitation: physiotherapy on the ward and once you leave.
• Nerves: how many and which fingers.
• Microsurgery: under magnification.
• Graft or conduit: if there is a gap.
• Splint and hand therapy: after surgery.

Ask each Gurgaon hospital for an itemised estimate showing any implant, surgeon, theatre, stay and hand therapy or physiotherapy, so offers can be compared fairly.
