Brachial Plexus Injury-Adult-Brachial Plexus Dissection

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the presenter discusses the exposure of the plexus, specifically the supraclavicular and some infraclavicular branches. They discuss different approaches and incisions depending on the extent of the exposure needed. They show the dissection of the plexus and mention the importance of landmarks such as the supraclavicular plexus and the cervical plexus. They also highlight the need to stay behind the lymphatic chain to avoid bleeding. The presenter goes on to dissect and identify various nerve branches, such as the suprascapular nerve, median nerve, ulnar nerve, and axillary nerve. They also discuss the location of the spinal accessory nerve and its transfer options. The presenter briefly demonstrates dissection of the long thoracic nerve and mentions the possibility of using it for an Oberlin nerve transfer. Overall, the video provides an overview of the dissection and identification of various nerve branches in the plexus. No credits were granted in the video.
