Head and neck reconstruction using cephalic vein transposition in the vessel-depleted neck.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:A Bio 3D printed nerve conduit was reported to promote nerve regeneration in a 5 mm nerve gap model. The purpose of this study was to fabricate Bio 3D nerve conduits suitable for a 10 mm nerve gap and to evaluate their capacity for nerve regeneration in a rat sciatic nerve defect model. MATERIALS AND METH...
