Nerve repair, grafting, and nerve transfers

Clinics in Plastic Surgery, 2003
Advances in the field of peripheral nerve surgery have increased our understanding of the complex cellular and molecular events involved in nerve injury and repair. Application of these important discoveries has led to important developments in the techniques of nerve repair, nerve grafting, nerve allografts, end-to-side repairs, and nerve-to-nerve ...

Nerve Conduits for Nerve Repair or Reconstruction

Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2012
Advances in treating peripheral nerve lesions have resulted from research in nerve regeneration and the use biomaterials as well as synthetic materials. When direct tensionless repair of peripheral nerve lesions is not possible, nerve conduits may be used to bridge digital sensory nerve gaps of ≤3 cm. Nerve autograft is the benchmark for larger, longer,

Nerve Regeneration and Repair

Diabetic Medicine, 1996
A cut peripheral nerve can be repaired by either suturing the two nerve stumps together directly or by interposing a nerve graft between the two stumps. Several factors such as the patient's age, type of injury, and proximity of the lesion will influence the functional results.

Nerve cuffs for nerve repair and regeneration

2000
In the nerve regeneration field, a 'nerve cuff' is commonly understood to mean a tubular conduit that is surgically installed around the proximal and distal stumps of a severed nerve. Such tubulization cuffs are commonly used to contain the regenerating axonal sprouts and orient and guide their elongation toward the distal stump (Fig. 1, 'T-cuff').

Nerve Repair–The Use of Nerve Isolation

Hand, 1970
Abstract Our total experience of nerve isolation with millipore or silastic now extends to some seventy-five cases. Our clinical experience leads us to the view that the best results in nerve repair, including incised wounds in the forearm, are likely to accrue from primary isolation of the nerve followed by early secondary nerve repair.

Delayed repair of the ulnar nerve

The Journal of Hand Surgery: British & European Volume, 1985
The case of a fifteen-year-old child where the delay between division and successful repair of the ulnar nerve was nine years is presented. This case and a review of the literature emphasise the importance of repairing nerves in children irrespective of the time interval between division and repair.

Nerve Repair

2019
Successful nerve repair requires an appropriate assessment of the injury combined with a functional examination that may need to be repeated over time. In this chapter, the authors review the key principles of nerve repair in order to maximize functional outcomes in patients with devastating nerve injuries.

Facial Nerve Repair: A Retrospective Review

Facial Plastic Surgery, 2000
The purpose of this article is to review a large series of patients evaluated for disorders of the facial nerve in order to assess the indications for surgery, the timing of surgery, the techniques of nerve repair, and to better define those factors associated with a favorable outcome.A retrospective review of patients undergoing facial nerve repair ...

Repair of Lacerated Peripheral Nerves With Nerve Conduits

Techniques in Hand & Upper Extremity Surgery, 2008
Peripheral nerve lesions are relatively common injuries encountered by hand surgeons. These injuries are notorious for causing significant and potentially long-standing impairment to hand function. Numerous surgical techniques with varying degrees of success have been described to treat this injury.
