Purpose: To present an animal model to assess the effects of end-to-side innervation in the heterotopically transplanted model with reduced chances of neural contamination.
Methods: The medial portion of the gastrocnemius muscle in wistar male rats was isolated and its pedicle dissected and performed a flap in the abdominal portion. To prevent neural contamination in the abdominal region, the muscle was wrapped with a Goretex(r) sheet.
Purpose: To demonstrate an experimental model of up to four hours a week of independent study that allows relearning in microvascular sutures.
Methods: Wistar rats between 200 and 500 grams surplus research experiments were used. Femoral vessels are covered on one or both sides through a groin incision obliquely along the inguinal ligament.
Objective: Through an experimental model, our aim was to create inferences about the viability of vascularized bone grafts from the iliac crest in rats and investigate their histological features.
Methods: Twenty-one rats were used, divided into two groups: the first consisted of animals that were subjected to the technique of vascularized bone graft pedicled onto the iliac branch of the iliolumbar artery; the second (control group) underwent the same procedure as performed on the first group, with the addition of ligation of the vascular pedicle. The viability of the bone grafts was observed for three weeks, by means of direct observation of the graft, histology and immunohistochemistry.
Background: The aim of this study was to experimentally compare end-to-end and end-to-side neurorrhaphy in perineural window model after motor nerve lesion, evaluating which one was the most effective to preserve nerves. Also, differences in motor and sensorial nerve regeneration were tested to verify differences in nerve regeneration.
Methods: A total of 20 adult male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to 5 groups, and, in each one, a different treatment was performed: besides the control group, and end-to-end or end-to-side graft with motor or sensorial nerves was performed.
