Iatrogenic cause of disease is defined as a harmful response to medicamentous or surgical therapy. Iatrogenic peripheral nerve
lesions can be brought about with a surgical instrument in an operational field, but also with compression, traction, catching the
nerve by splint, damage of nerve by bleeding or radiation. In the paper there is given an overview of the most frequently injured
peripheral nerves and situations, in which a iatrogenic lesion developes.

Keywords: iatrogenic damage, peripheral nerve injuries, electromyography, operative field
