## Abstract We have developed a new treatment for peripheral nerve defects: nerve‐lengthening method, and confirmed the efficacy and safety of our method using cynomolgus monkeys. A 20‐mm defect in the median nerve of monkey's forearms was repaired through the simultaneous lengthening of both nerve
The bridging of nerve gaps is still one of the major problems in peripheral nerve surgery. The present experiment describes our attempt to engineer different biologic nerve grafts in a rat sciatic nerve model: cultured isogenic Schwann cells were implanted into 2-cm autologous acellular nerve grafts
