Positive Effect of Wrapping with Nerve Conduit on Nerve Recovery After Peripheral Nerve Suturing
Wrapping a repaired peripheral nerve with a biodegradable PLA/PCL conduit provides postoperative protection, minimizes scar adhesion, and supports nerve regeneration for 12 weeks. This technique could serve as an effective strategy to enhance functional recovery by promoting optimal nerve healing.
