    (Springer International Publishing, 2023) Barutçuoğlu M.; Atalay M.K.; Diniz G.
    Nerve biopsy is a special histopathological examination used for determining the differential diagnoses of various diseases with peripheral nerve involvement. Histochemistry, immunohistochemistry, and other advanced methods can clarify many clinical doubts when diagnosing with nerve biopsy. Sometimes, the pathognomonic findings are also seen in the nerve biopsy which confirm the final diagnosis. In this chapter, questions such as how the patients are prepared, which nerves can be selected for biopsy, how large the material should be, how it is sent to the pathology laboratory, and what complications may occur in the biopsy area are answered. Nerve biopsy taking is also explained with pictures and illustrations. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2023.
