## Abstract Mechanical couplers are successfully used for microvascular venous anastomoses. The advantages include a simple and fast technique and a high patency rate. Couplers offer a secluded coaptation site, and might also be of use in peripheral nerve repair. The present study was designed to i

## Abstract The regeneration of motor and sensory neurons and the morphological changes of the target muscle after phrenic nerve transfer were investigated in adult rats. Six months following nerve transfer, 326.0 ± 16.31 phrenic motoneurons regenerated into musculocutaneous nerve, which is not dif
The cytokine leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) favors the survival and growth of axons in vitro and in vivo. Fibronectin has been shown to enhance nerve regeneration when added in combination with various growth factors including LIF. The goal of this study was to evaluate the effect of LIF plus fibr
