Introduction
Research on the possibility of increasing the effects of after-injury reconstruction of peripheral nerves conducted in the Department of Physiology at ŚUM resulted in the development of a new method of reconstruction after peripheral nerve injuries. In this new method, we used 7-day predegenerated
Materials and Methods
Experiments were carried out on 32 patients in The Department of Neurosurgery Medical University of Silesia. Twenty patients were operated on with a predegenerated (P) implant, and 12 patients operated in the traditional method (T). As a result, 25% of patients’ reinnervation from healthy nearby nerves in the area supplied by reconstructed nerves was present. In group P, reinnervation appeared in 7 of 20 patients (35%) and in group T, in 1 from 12 (8.33%) cases.
Results
Results of the examinations were counted statistically in both groups.
Conclusion
Reinnervation from nearby healthy non-injured nerves positively influences the results of human peripheral nerve reconstruction.
