Cranial Nerve Coactivation and Implication for Nerve Transfers to the Facial Nerve

Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, 2018
Summary: In reanimation surgery, effortless smile can be achieved by a nonfacial donor nerve. The underlying mechanisms for this smile development, and which is the best nonfacial neurotizer, need further clarification. The aim of the present study was therefore to further explore the natural coactivation between facial mimic ...

Cranial Nerve XII: The Hypoglossal Nerve

Seminars in Neurology, 2009
The hypoglossal nerve provides motor innervation to the tongue, and may be affected by pathology at multiple locations along its pathway. Knowledge of its anatomy and careful examination of the tongue are important in the diagnosis of lesions and determination of appropriate testing. The hypoglossal nerve anatomy and physiology, clinical disorders, and

The sizes of the nerve fibres of muscle nerves

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B - Biological Sciences, 1951
Abstract The diameters of the fibres in the nerves innervating twenty-five muscles in the rabbit have been measured and two types of muscle nerves are distinguished. (1) The 'bimodal’ nerves of nearly all limb muscles and the extrinsic eye muscles show two peaks in the size-frequency distribution and contain many large fibres (up to ...

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 Peripheral Nerve Surgery

Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, 2014
Autologous nerve grafts are the current criterion standard for repair of peripheral nerve injuries when the transected nerve ends are not amenable to primary end-to-end tensionless neurorrhaphy. However, donor-site morbidities such as neuroma formation and permanent loss of function have led to tremendous interest in developing an alternative to this ...

Nerve Tubes for Peripheral Nerve Repair

Neurosurgery Clinics of North America, 2009
The concept of the nerve tube has been a major topic of research in the field of peripheral nerve regeneration for more than 25 years. The first nerve tubes are currently available for clinical use. This article gives an overview of the experimental and clinical data on nerve tubes for peripheral nerve repair and critically analyzes the data on which ...

Nerve Replacement Strategies for Cavernous Nerves

European Urology, 2005
This article reviews novel restorative therapies for cavernous nerves that may be used to replace resected cavernous nerves at the time of pelvic surgery.A literature-based presentation (Medline search) on current nerve replacement strategies was conducted with emphasis on neurobiological factors contributing to the restoration of erectile function ...

Cranial nerve XII: The hypoglossal nerve

Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRI, 2002
The hypoglossal nerve, cranial nerve XII, is the motor supply of the tongue. An understanding of the intracranial and extracranial components is fundamental in the evaluation of hypoglossal pathology. The following discussion of the evaluation of the hypoglossal nerve will involve the embryology, anatomy, clinical basis, and imaging techniques with ...
