The relationship of functional return to varying methods of nerve repair.

abstract：BACKGROUND:We present the clinical application of the sixth internal mammary artery perforator (IMAP) and superior epigastric artery perforator (SEAP) flaps for the treatment of defects resulting from the excision of large lower sternal and upper abdominal keloids. Perforator selection and flap design were based solely...

abstract：:The rat model is commonly utilized in peripheral nerve research. Due to the short length of the rat limb and the animal's inherent neuroregenerative capacity, the timing of assessment of nerve regeneration is critical, and significant differences between groups can be lost if assessment is done too late. Additionally,...
