Peripheral nerve defects require surgical repair. This review covers nerve autografts and conduits, exploring new technologies for enhanced peripheral nerve regeneration and functional recovery.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Biomaterials Science

Background:

  • Peripheral nerve injuries are prevalent, necessitating effective surgical reconstruction techniques.
  • Direct nerve coaptation is ideal but often unachievable, requiring alternative strategies.
  • Current alternatives include nerve autografts, nerve conduits, and emerging tissue-engineered constructs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review established and emerging methods for peripheral nerve reconstruction.
  • To discuss the applications and classifications of nerve autografts and conduits.
  • To highlight advancements in tissue engineering for improved nerve regeneration.

Main Methods:

  • Review of autogenous nerve graft techniques (trunk, cable, interfascicular, vascularized).
