  • Title: [Reconstruction and repair of resected cavernous nerves].
    Author: Zhou HJ, Lu HK.
    Journal: Zhonghua Nan Ke Xue; 2009 Jan; 15(1):65-8. PubMed ID: 19288754.
    Abstract:
    By studying the novel methods for reconstructing damaged cavernous nerves and the related literature on the regeneration of cavernous nerves, restoration of erectile function and neurohistological reconstruction engineering, a variety of grafting materials have been found applicable to cavernous nerve reconstruction, including autogenetic nerve grafts, silicone tubes, artificial biodegradable conduits and so on. Neurotrophic factors, extra cellular matrix components and Schwann cells have been shown to promote cavernous regeneration. Artificial nerve guides, especially biodegradable ones containing growth-promoting factors or cells, are a promising option for the repair of cavernous nerve lesions.
