, Paolo Titolo, MD, Davide Ciclamini, MD, Bernardino Panero, MDRésumé |
Many surgical techniques are available for the repair of peripheral nerve defects. Autologous nerve grafts are the gold standard for most clinical conditions. In selected cases, alternative types of reconstructions are performed to fill the nerve gap. Non-nervous autologous tissue–based conduits or synthetic ones are alternatives to nerve autografts.

This review focuses on current clinical practice, influenced by the numerous new experimental researches.
