Effect of Forward and Reverse Suturing on Nerve Regeneration Following Facial Nerve Axotomy
Our results suggest that the direction of nerve suturing (forward vs. reverse) does not significantly impact nerve regeneration or functional recovery. Both suturing methods demonstrated similar recovery effects, with no significant differences in microstructural regeneration. Future studies should investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying nerve regeneration and extend the observation period to provide a more comprehensive understanding of this process.
