Combined use of Y-tube conduits with human umbilical cord stem cells for repairing nerve bifurcation defects

Given the anatomic complexity at the bifurcation point of a nerve trunk, enforced suturing between stumps can lead to misdirection of nerve axons, thereby resulting in adverse consequences. We assumed that Y-tube conduits injected with human umbilical cord stem cells could be an effective method to...
