The baseline for any key research in nerve regeneration is an experimental model and the sciatic nerve in the rat model is the workhorse in this field. Although physically resistant to external traumas, a surgical intervention constitutes a major distress even for a rat. In the following presentation, we will analyse the learning curves for different stages in the rat sciatic nerve surgery as well as possible factors which influence these times.

AbstractTraumatic peripheral nerve injuries present a particular challenge to hand surgeons as mechanisms of nerve-healing pose serious limitations to achieving complete functional recovery. The loss of distal axonal segments through Wallerian degeneration results in the loss of neuromuscular junctions and irreversible muscle atrophy. Current methods of repair depend on the outgrowth of proximal nerve fibers following direct end-to-end repair or gap repair techniques. Investigational techniques in nerve repair using polyethylene glycol (PEG) nerve fusion have been shown to bypass Wallerian degeneration by immediately restoring nerve axonal continuity, thus resulting in a rapid and more complete functional recovery. The purpose of this article is to review the current literature surrounding this novel technique for traumatic nerve repair, paying particular attention to the underlying physiology of nerve healing and the current applications of PEG fusion in the laboratory and clinical setting. This article also serves to identify areas of future investigation to further establish validity and feasibility and encourage the translation of PEG fusion into clinical use.

The success of nerve repair treatment can be measured by examining the factors (Wallerian degeneration) that prevent functional recovery, and determining the extent of regeneration of proximal axon sprouts in the endoneurial environment of the distal fascicles. In the present study, the neurosurgical alignment of fascicles was attempted by laser as well as suture microsurgery of transected rat sciatic nerve and the relative efficacy of the two procedures was evaluated after 6 and 12 weeks by Neurophysiological Study, Morphological Study with light microscopy, ultrastructure, and the permeability of blood-nerve barrier using horseradish peroxidase (HRP) tracer technique, and Morphometry of the nerve fibers.
