If they are perfectly realigned through neurosurgery, there is a chance that they can regenerate. But we are not talking about an entire plexus of nerves.
The only nerves in the human body that continually regenerate are found in the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS). This allows for limited repair and regeneration of damaged nerves in the PNS. However, nerves in the Central Nervous System (CNS), such as those in the brain and spinal cord, do not have the same capacity for regeneration.
As unfortunate as this may sound, nerves do not heal. Nor do they regenerate. If you've suffered an injury that's caused nerve damage, that damage will not heal or regenerate.
The two types of peripheral nerves are somatic and autonomic nerves.
Peripheral nerves.

Massage therapy can help facial muscles and nerves regenerate by increasing blood flow to the area. Massage therapy alone will not regenerate muscles or nerves.
Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) original answer by btbchris
cranial nerves are nerves which arise from different parts of brain that are paired and 12 pair and 24 in number. peripheral nerves are neurons that exists out side brain and spinalcord and make up peripheral nerve system.
CNS nerves do not regenerate well because of inhibitory factors in the CNS environment that prevent proper regrowth of damaged nerve fibers. Additionally, the presence of glial scars and limited growth-promoting molecules in the CNS hinder the regeneration process. This is in contrast to the peripheral nervous system, which has a more conducive environment for nerve regeneration.
False
That would be the peripheral nervous system.
