traumatic peripheral nerve injuries are among most important cause of physical disability among young adults. most partial injuries and some complete injuries recover without operative intervention, with early return of function appearing to be the most significant prognostic factor in these cases. return of function over time depends to a great extent on the underlying neuropathologic conditio...

  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...

tooth pulpal nerves include sympathetic and sensory nerves that originate from trigeminal ganglion .from the terminal of these sensory nerves neuropeptides are secreted that are neuromodulators and neurotransmitters. one of them is cgrp (calcitonin gene-related protein) which has a vasodilatory effect on pulpal vessels. near abscess and moderate injuries, this neuropeptide can lead to neural fi...

Background: Axotomy causes sensory neuronal loss. Reconnection of proximal and distal nerve ends by surgical repair improves neuronal survival. It is important to know the morphology of primary sensory neurons after the surgical repair of their peripheral processes. Methods: Animals (male Wistar rats) were exposed to models of sciatic nerve transection, direct epineurial suture repair of sciati...

In microsurgical nerve repair, the epineural sleeve technique can be used to bridge short nerve defects and to coverthe coaptation site with the epineurium of the nerve stump. The epineurium serves as a mechanical aid to reducegap size, and increase repair strength, effectively assisting nerve regeneration.This article presents a 32-year-old patient who experienced complete transection of the m...

conclusions the results of this study showed that the meticulous microsurgical nerve repair, which was performed using the vein tubulization induced significantly better sciatic nerve regeneration. however, the addition of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell to vein conduit failed to promote any significant changes in regeneration outcome. results all animals tolerated the surgical procedures and...

background peripheral nerve repair is often complicated by fibroblastic scar formation, nerve dysfunction, and traumatic neuroma formation. use of silicone may improve outcomes of these repairs. in this study, we tried to evaluate effectiveness of silicone gel on rats’ sciatic nerve repair, axon regeneration and scar formation around and in the nervous tissues. methods this experimental study w...

abstract: introduction & objective: postoperative pain management and narcotic usage after inguinal hernia repair is an important concern for anesthesiologists and surgeons. the purpose of this study was to find out whether the use of local anesthetic nerve block in ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric region by bupivacaine could reduce postoperative pain and hospital admission periods after inguin...
