    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Peripheral nerve surgery

    Context:

    • Sural nerve grafting is a common procedure in reconstructive surgery.
    • Traditional methods of sural nerve harvesting can be time-consuming and may lead to complications.

    Purpose:

    • To introduce and evaluate a specially designed nerve stripper for efficient sural nerve removal.
    • To assess the safety and efficacy of this new technique in obtaining long nerve grafts.

    Summary:

    • A specially designed nerve stripper was used in 19 patients to harvest the sural nerve for grafting.
    • The technique involves a single short incision at the lateral malleolus, allowing proximal stripping of the nerve up to 34 cm.
    • The stripper's design prevents inadvertent transection and facilitates clean nerve cutting.
