Abstract
This article describes the mechanisms of peripheral nerve healing and the efforts to achieve an optimal healing outcome. The mainstay of tre atment has been adherence to good surgical technique and the use of mi crosurgical equipment. Despite advances in microsurgery, complete stru ctural and functional recovery is uncommon. Research focused on adjunc tive methods for nerve repair is also reviewed in this article.
