How to Improve the Results of Peripheral Nerve Surgery

How to Improve the Results of Peripheral Nerve Surgery edited by Hanno Millesi, Robert Schmidhammer.

All over the world research is going on to improve the outcome of the treatment of peripheral nerve lesions. Questions over questions arise. Is the autologeous nerve grafting still the golden standard in bridging defects? Have alternative techniques to overcome defects reached a level to replace aut...
