Neurophysiological studies of autogenous sural nerve grafts.
Sixteen autogenous sural nerve grafts used for ulnar and median injuries in the forearm have been studied neurophysiologically up to two and a half years after operation. Motor and sensory nerve conduction studies revealed a slow but sustained improvement during the follow-up period. By two years, motor conduction velocity across the graft itself reached in most cases 40 to 85% of the conductio...
متن کاملFunctional Outcomes of Multiple Sural Nerve Grafts for Facial Nerve Defects after Tumor-Ablative Surgery
BACKGROUND Functional restoration of the facial expression is necessary after facial nerve resection to treat head and neck tumors. This study was conducted to evaluate the functional outcomes of patients who underwent facial nerve cable grafting immediately after tumor resection. METHODS Patients who underwent cable grafting from April 2007 to August 2011 were reviewed, in which a harvested ...
متن کاملReconstruction of the Abdominal Vagus Nerve Using Sural Nerve Grafts in Canine Models
BACKGROUND Recently, vagus nerve preservation or reconstruction of vagus has received increasing attention. The present study aimed to investigate the feasibility of reconstructing the severed vagal trunk using an autologous sural nerve graft. METHODS Ten adult Beagle dogs were randomly assigned to two groups of five, the nerve grafting group (TG) and the vagal resection group (VG). The gastr...
متن کاملStudies on Sural Nerve Biopsies in Endemic Skeletal Fluorosis
Sural nerve biopsies from 13 patients with radiologically confirmed skeletal fluorosis were studied for myelinated fibre densities, frequency distribution of their diameters, and single teased nerve fibre preparations. It was observed that most of the biopsies showed a marked reduction in myelinated fibre densities with more than half of them involving the smaller fibres of less than 7 gm diame...
متن کاملCorrection of iatrogenic injury of the obturator nerve during pelvic laparoscopic lymphadenectomy by the use of sural nerve grafts
•Intraoperative injury of the obturator nerve is not an infrequent complication of gynecological surgeries.•This injury can occur in association with pelvic lymphadenectomy for uterine or cervical cancer.•This manuscript demonstrates an alternative technique for the obturator nerve repair, when primary end to end anastomosis is not possible.
