Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Biomaterials

Background:

  • Peripheral nerve injuries remain a significant clinical challenge despite advances in understanding pathophysiology and microsurgical techniques.
  • Effective management requires comprehensive knowledge of nerve anatomy, injury mechanisms, and surgical reconstruction strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current surgical treatment options for various peripheral nerve injuries.
  • To discuss nerve repair, grafting, and tubulization techniques.
  • To explore emerging research and future directions in peripheral nerve reconstruction.

Main Methods:

  • Overview of direct nerve repair techniques (end-to-end, end-to-side).
  • Discussion of nerve grafting (autografting, allografting) for bridging nerve gaps.

  • Review of tubulization techniques using natural or artificial conduits for short nerve defects.

    • Main Results:

    • Nerve autografting is the current standard for nerve gaps but has limitations like donor site morbidity.
    • Nerve allografting and tubulization offer alternatives for extensive or short nerve defects, respectively.
    • Improved outcomes rely on microsurgical advancements and molecular biology integration.

    Conclusions:

    • Current surgical options include direct repair, nerve grafting, and tubulization, each with specific indications and limitations.
    • Future research focuses on nerve allograft optimization (tolerance induction, minimal immunosuppression), cell-based therapies, and bioengineered conduits.
    • Advancements in microsurgery and molecular biology are crucial for improving peripheral nerve reconstruction outcomes.
