Abstract
Peripheral nerve injuries are common injuries that require proper surgical techniques for achievement of satisfactory outcome.
The microscopic anatomy of the peripheral nerves, specially their fascicular arrangement makes their repair a special surgical problem.
In spite of that, proper surgical technique of peripheral nerve repair is the same like any tissue repair.
After the accurate choice of the surgical technique; the surgical points that can be controlled are the adequate preparation of the two stumps, good alignment, and suturing the two ends without tension at the suture line or leaving a gap.
In this work, 30patients suffering from peripheral nerve injury were treated by primary and delayed nerve repair.
All the patients were:
Available for follow up from 6 to 12 months. The youngest patient was 6 years old and the eldest was 60 years old. They were 21 male and 9 females. The ulnar nerve was the most injured nerve and the common peroneal nerve was the least injured one.
The results were satisfactory in 21 patients as sensory and motor power recovery. The younger the patient, the more favorable was the recovery. Skilful primary repair showed itself to be the best chance for injuries amenable for it.
