Cognitive mapping; PTEN in peripheral nerves

Preoperative ultrasound-guided mapping of peripheral nerves.

OBJECT Surgical exposure of a peripheral nerve can be technically challenging, making the operation more extensive and time consuming, particularly in the treatment of small nerves with an anatomically variable position. This study describes the application of ultrasound to facilitate surgical access and localization of targeted peripheral nerves. METHODS A preclinical feasibility study was p...

Injuries to Peripheral Nerves

the proximal to the distal segment. These cells may be formed by the breaking up of the myelon sheath, and it is asserted by some of the exponents of centrifugal regeneration that it is by means of these newly-organized myelon fragments that a chemical attraction is created which enables the new axons to find their way into the partly obliterated distal cord. All this doubt and speculation make...

Introduction of a New Suture Method in Repair of Peripheral Nerves Injured with a Sharp Mechanism

  Background: The standard method for repair of an injured peripheal nerve is epineural repair with separate sutures. Herein we describe a method in which the nerve is sutured with continous sutures. In fact this method has not been utilized for nerve repair previously and our purpose was to compare it to the standard method. If it proved to be successful it would replace the standard method in...

MR Neurography - Imaging Peripheral Nerves

MR imaging of peripheral nerves not only allows sensitive detection of peripheral nerve abnormalities but also displays high detail of regional anatomy and improves specificity of diagnosis. The use of MR imaging for diagnosis and evaluation of peripheral nervous system disorders was initially reported in the late 1980’s. Since then, expertise gained through experience over the last decade coup...
