  • Title: The relationship between structural features of peripheral nerves and suture methods for nerve repair.
    Author: Zhong SZ, Wang GY, He YS, Sun B.
    Journal: Microsurgery; 1988; 9(3):181-7. PubMed ID: 3054413.
    Abstract:
    Based on techniques for identifying and distinguishing motor, sensory, and mixed fasciculi in peripheral nerves, the authors propose guidelines for selecting suture methods for nerve repair. When many mixed fasciculi are known to exist at the nerve lesion, epineurial repair is preferable; fascicular (perineurial) repair is more suitable when pure motor and sensory fasciculi are clearly recognized. Generally, epineurial repair is indicated for more proximal injuries, with fascicular repair most appropriate for more distal sites. A greater ratio of epineurial connective tissue to intrafascicular nervous tissue implies an inclination toward fascicular repair.
