The NYCOMS Nerve Repair Unit

Microsurgical repair of the trigeminal nerve is not a common skill set found in an oral maxillofacial practice.

At NYCOMS, we are fortunate to have Dr. Salvator Ruggiero who has been trained and is experienced in this surgical discipline. Dr. Ruggiero learned these skills at Harvard University while training at Massachusetts General Hospital.

The NYCOMS approach for the evaluation and treatment of patients with traumatic injuries to the nerves of the jaws and tongue has been specially developed for the practice.

After an initial evaluation, a choice of options is presented to the patient. If indicated, surgery is performed at Northwell Long Island Jewish Medical Center or New York Presbyterian Medical Center.
