Abstract:
A new model is described for monitoring nerve blood flow during expansion by laser Doppler flowmetry. Rabbit sciatic nerve is gradually expanded with a custom-made spherical expander, while nerve blood flow is monitored by laser Doppler flow output. This model provides a valid method of controlling nerve blood flow during expansion.
