The doctor will do different nerve surgeries depending on what kind of injury is found following exploratory surgery and how much undamaged material there is to work with. What type of nerve surgery is done, whether grafting, nerve transfer or just a clear up of scar tissue, is mainly determined by the type of injury in each case. The success of any nerve surgery depends a lot more on how soon after injury the surgery is done, the level of injury (how far the nerves have to grow) and the age of the patient than what method is used.
Hope that helps
