The turnover distal epineurial sheath tube for repair of peripheral nerve gaps.

Background And Objective: Autologous nerve grafting is the conventional technique for bridging nerve gaps. However, the drawback of this technique is the morbidity associated with the left over donor site. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of the turnover distal epineurial sheath tube as an alternative to nerve grafting for the repair of nerve gaps.
