Research progress in the treatment of peripheral nerve defects with nerve grafting materials / 中华显微外科杂志

Peripheral nerve defect is a common clinical disease, and the principle for treatment is to restore nerve continuity. At present, autologous nerve transfer is the main method for repairing nerve defects in clinic, but its application is limited by many disadvantages. In recent years, artificial repair materials without sacrificing autologous nerve have been applied and the safety and effectiveness have been preliminarily confirmed. This paper reviews the domestic and foreign literature reports in recent years.
