Optimal Technique for Cutting Peripheral Nerves in Nerve Transfer Surgery: A Survey of Peripheral Nerve Surgeons
Our findings demonstrate that peripheral nerve surgeons believe that the technique used to transect nerves before coaptation influences outcomes after nerve transfer. Further ex vivo studies are necessary to investigate how different cutting techniques influence nerve morphology and scarring at the coaptation site to optimize outcomes after peripheral nerve surgery.
