Experimental, Clinical, and Technical Aspects of Polyethylene Glycol Application to End-to-End Peripheral Nerve Repair
PEG-mediated fusion represents a potential enhancement to standard microsurgical nerve repair. While further investigation is needed to optimize application parameters, address axonal specificity, and define long-term efficacy, current evidence supports PEG as a safe, effective, and accessible technique to improve outcomes in peripheral nerve repair.
