## Abstract Although veins and arteries present similar wall structures, there are differences which may be relevant in peripheral nerve reconstruction. Insideβout vein grafts (IOVG) have been satisfactorily used to repair both motor and sensitive nerves. However, the insideβout artery graft (IOAG)

## Abstract Vein grafts have been used both experimentally and clinically to bridge gaps in peripheral nerves. This study describes a modification of the vein graft technique in which vein graft conduits are pulled insideβout before anastomosis with proximal and distal nerve stumps. This technique
## Abstract The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectivity of prefabricated nerve grafts in the repairing nerve defect and to compare them with the autogenous nerve graft and vein graft. Four groups were created, each containing 10 rats. First, nerve prefabrication was carried out in gro
Nerve regeneration in a sensory nerve was obtained by the application of different techniques: inside-out vein graft (IOVG group) and standard vein graft (SVG group). These techniques provide a good microenvironment for axon regeneration in motor nerves, but their efficiency for regeneration of sens
## Abstract It is known that a vein graft provides a good microenvironment for axon regeneration in motor peripheral nerves, but the use of artery graft for regeneration of sensory nerves is controversial. We sectioned the saphenous nerve and repaired it by using heterologous insideβout and standar
