There were 79 right and 65 left nerves dissected (N=144). On the right, the mean length of the dissection was 27.72 mm and on the left 31.40 mm. (Table 1). The length of the dissection ranged from 7-65 mm on the right and 3-62 mm on the patients left side. The mean distance from the TE groove was 4.
