P15: Comparison of Functional Results of Prefabricated Nerve Graft, Autogenous Nerve Graft, and Vein Graft in Repair of Nerve Defects

摘要

In a preliminary study, we carried out nerve prefabrication by using autogenous vein as conduit between two healthy nerves, in addition making partial incision on the nerves and performing VEGF gene therapy, thus we created a new alternative of autogenous nerve graft. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectivity of prefabricated nerve grafts in the repairing nerve defect, and to compare them with the autogenous nerve graft and vein graft.
