DOI: 10.1002/micr.31053
Abstract: INTRODUCTION The average nerve graft length utilized in cross-face nerve grafting for reconstruction of facial nerve palsy is 20-22 cm. While the graft length is thought to be one of the greatest determinants of muscle strength,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/prs.0000000000005871
Abstract: BACKGROUND Facial paralysis and postparalysis facial synkinesis both cause severe functional and aesthetic deficits. Functioning free muscle transplantation is the authors' preferred method for reconstructing both deformities. METHODS From 1985 to 2017, a total of… read more here.

Closing the Gap: Bridging Peripheral Sensory Nerve Defects with a Chitosan-Based Conduit a Randomized Prospective Clinical Trial
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Journal of Personalized Medicine"
DOI: 10.3390/jpm12060900
Abstract: Introduction: If tensionless nerve coaptation is not possible, bridging the resulting peripheral nerve defect with an autologous nerve graft is still the current gold standard. The concept of conduits as an alternative with different materials… read more here.

DOI: 10.4103/1673-5374.355817
Abstract: Studies have shown that human hair keratin (HHK) has no antigenicity and excellent mechanical properties. Schwann cells, as unique glial cells in the peripheral nervous system, can be induced by interleukin-1β to secrete nerve growth… read more here.
