[Late results after homologous nerve grafting (author's transl)]

An account is given about the results of transplantation of homolouges lyophilisated nerves. 48 patients (56 nerves) could be reexamined. The critical clinical and neurological examination shows no positive results. Regarding the taken late results and the experimental findings the use of homolouges lyophilisated nerves for bridging larger defects in human must be rejected, at least at the present.
