Experimental Nerve Regeneration Under a Vein Graft in the Rat

  • Conference paper
Peripheral Nerve Lesions

Abstract

Following the section of a nerve, suture is either immediate or secondary and sometimes makes use of nerve grafts. It is the problem of establishing a bridge between two nerve ends which has particularly attracted our attention. Our experimental study involved the section of 8 mm of common fibular nerve, with the interposition of a 10-mm venous graft replacing the missing portion of nerve. Electrophysiological, histological, and immunological evaluations were carried out over a period ranging from 4 to 12 weeks of nerve regeneration.
