Nerve Transfers to the Facial Nerve

2021
Nerve transfers to the facial nerve are utilized in acute and subacute facial paralysis patients with intact facial mimetic musculature where the proximal facial nerve cannot be directly repaired. Denervation time of the facial mimetic musculature should generally not have exceeded 18 months.

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 Transfers for Severe Nerve Injury

Neurosurgery Clinics of North America, 2009
Nerve transfers are becoming used increasingly for repair of severe nerve injures, especially brachial plexus injuries, where the proximal spinal nerve roots have been avulsed from the spinal cord. The procedure essentially involves the coaptation of a proximal foreign (donor) nerve to the distal denervated (recipient) nerve, so that the latter's end ...

Results of Nerve Transfers to the Musculocutaneous and Axillary Nerves

Neurosurgery, 2000
Nerve transfers in cases of brachial plexus traction injuries with avulsion of spinal nerve roots or irreparable proximal lesions of spinal nerves have been attempted using a variety of donor nerves. The purpose of this study was to analyze the results of nerve transfers to the musculocutaneous and axillary nerves, using collateral branches of the ...

Sensory Nerves Transfers

Journal of Hand Surgery, 2004
Various types of sensory nerve transfer in the hand are presented. They were all performed after brachial plexus injury to restore sensation, mainly to the adjacent borders of the thumb and index finger or to the ulnar aspect of the little finger. Twenty one cases were assessed.
