DOI: 10.1002/term.2980
Abstract: Outcomes of end‐to‐end nerve repairs are more successful compared with outcomes of repairs bridged by nerve grafts. However, end‐to‐end repairs are not always possible for large nerve gaps, as excessive tension may cause catastrophic failure.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.expneurol.2020.113328
Abstract: In order to repair chronic nerve injuries (injuries repaired after a long delay), the damaged nerve segments are resected and stumps are bridged by grafts. Autografts remain the gold-standard, but outcomes are typically poor, even… read more here.

DOI: 10.4103/1673-5374.251338
Abstract: End-to-end repair under no or low tension leads to improved outcomes for transected nerves with short gaps, compared to repairs with a graft. However, grafts are typically used to enable a tension-free repair for moderate… read more here.
