Abstract

Until the late eighteenth century it was believed that peripheral nerves did not regenerate after injury. Introduction of microsurgical techniques [1] in peripheral nerve surgery and the establishment of the principle of tension free repair [2] allowed inspired surgeons such as Narakas, Millesi, Allieu, Brunelli, Terzis, Doi, Gu, and others to suggest several new approaches to nerve reconstruction.
