Phrenic Nerve Surgery and
Phrenic Nerve Program
The phrenic nerve controls function of the diaphragm muscle, the primary muscle involved in breathing. When this nerve becomes damaged, phrenic nerve reconstruction may be performed to reverse diaphragm paralysis.
Until now, treatment options for phrenic nerve injury have been limited to either nonsurgical therapy or diaphragm plication, neither of which attempts to restore normal function to the paralyzed diaphragm.
Thanks to recent advances in nerve decompression and transplant leading to Dr. Kaufman’s surgical breakthroughs, it is now possible to reverse diaphragm paralysis using techniques derived from the procedures commonly used to treat arm or leg paralysis, enabling surgeons to restore function to previously paralyzed muscle groups.
The Phrenic Nerve Program is a collaboration between Reza Jarrahy, MD, at the UCLA Division of Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery and Matthew Kaufman, MD, at The Institute for Advanced Reconstruction.

Phrenic Nerve Reconstruction
