## Abstract Long gap peripheral nerve injuries usually require a graft to facilitate axonal regeneration into the distal nerve stump. The use of autografts is often limited because of graft availability and donorβsite morbidity. We investigated whether acellular nerve allografts would provide an ap

## Abstract The use of microsurgical techniques is essential in peripheral nerve surgery, in which dissection at the fascicular level is required. Magnification with an operating microscope allows for an accurate evaluation of the severity of the trauma to the nerve tissue and permits atraumatic in
## Abstract Preservation of peripheral nerves may, in the near future, play an important role in reconstructive surgery, especially if recent advances in immunosuppressive therapy are taken into account. Therefore, it has to be investigated whether peripheral nerves can be stored for some time afte
## Abstract Previous studies have demonstrated the potential of growth factors in peripheral nerve regeneration. A method was developed for sustained delivery of nerve growth factor (NGF) for nerve repair with acellular nerve grafts to augment peripheral nerve regeneration. NGFβcontaining polymeric
