Intraoperative Real-Time Fluorescence Labeling of Degenerated Facial Nerves with Bevonescein
This study demonstrates the utility of bevonescein, a fluorescein-conjugated nerve-binding peptide, in the identification of degenerated facial nerves during fluorescence-guided surgery. This technology could benefit reconstructive surgeons who perform delayed peripheral nerve reconstruction.
