Abstract
Endβtoβside neurorrhaphy, a possible strategy for treating nerve lesions without useable proximal nerve stumps, has been experimentally and clinically investigated. In endβtoβside neurorrhaphy, three main elements should be considered: 1) the induction of axonal collateral sprouting in the donor nerve; 2) the ability of the collateral axons to pierce the different conjunctival layers, including the ability the donor nerve basal laminae, to reinnervate the recipient nerve; and 3) the functional plasticity and behavioral readjustment of single motoneurons that have eventually adopted new motor units. This article reviews the following areas of research and clinical investigation: animal models, axonal collateral sprouting from endβtoβside neurorrhaphy, effect of epineurotomy and perineurotomy on axon regeneration, motor reinnervation, and clinical trials.

This historical note offers a perspective concerning the origin of the employment of end-to-side (termino-lateral) anastomosis for nerve repair and summarizes the works that have been published on this surgical technique through the first part of the 20th Century. While the origin of end-to-side neu
## Abstract The concept of endβtoβside nerve repair was recently introduced; however, most authors have reported conflicting results with this technique. This study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of endβtoβside nerve repair in both fresh and predegenerated specimens by histological evalu
## Abstract Various studies have demonstrated collateral regeneration of the donor nerve following endβtoβside neurorrhaphy, but the location of collateral sprouting remains controversial. In a rat endβtoβside neurorrhaphy model we isolated nerve fibers from the donor nerve at the neurorrhaphy site
