Clinical and Anatomical Changes induced by Sciatic Nerve Section of Weaning Age Rabbits

The aim of the study was to explore clinical and anatomicalchanges occured after Sciatic nerve section in weaning age rabbits.Twenty-five rabbits were used this ranging from 1-2.5 months.Divided into five subgroups according number survival days(W7) (W14) (W30) (W60) (W90). Surgery performed under generalanesthesia. sectioned using a small surgical scissor.Clinicalay few days later, sign right hind paws paralysis wasobserved clearly. results revealed gap formation between thetwo stumps [proximal distal], increases on dayfourteenth.During following two weeks, ulcers began appear skin at thedorsal side ankle joint, there also an enlarged popliteallymph node. Within 30-60 another area invaded by ulcer withor without bone exposure, anterior part posterior thehind limb. After 90 days, severe ulceration exposurewith lymph nodes extended ventralside hindlimb. Results showed gradual worsening thecondition improvement peripheral nerves.
