ABSTRACT
Obstetrical brachial plexus palsy is still current pathology. It occurs in 1/2000 deliveries in developed countries. Spontaneous recovery occurs only in 50% of all cases. This is justifying surgical exploration of the brachial plexus and its reparation by microsurgical techniques. This surgery can lead to 82% of good results in the upper arm paralysis of Erb-Duchenne. In paralysis of the entire arm, the results are not as good, but operative procedure usually leads to better results than that following spontaneous recovery
