[Submicroscopic study of degeneration and regeneration following experimental nerve transplantation]
Abstract:
Authors, as a continuation of a former series of experiments, examined the fate of free autologous nerve grafts. It was found that the transitory state without circulation does not influence the start of regeneration and its temporal process in the graft. They call attention to the important role of the Schwann cells in the regeneration. 8-10 weeks postoperatively a complete remyelinization was observed even in the distal stump.
