End-to-end and end-to-side neurorrhaphy between thick donor nerves and thin recipient nerves: an axon regeneration study in a rat model
During nerve reconstruction, nerves of different thicknesses are often sutured together using end-to-side neurorrhaphy and end-to-end neurorrhaphy techniques. In this study, the effect of the type of neurorrhaphy on the number and diameter of regenerated axon fibers was studied in a rat facial nerve...
