Tube Repair: Advances towards an Artificial
Nerve Graft
Tube repair has emerged as an effective alternative to
direct suture or short grafts for repairing severed
peripheral nerves. However, simple tubes have a limit
to regeneration depending upon the length of the
gap. The characteristics of the guide wall, in terms of
permeability, durability and adhesiveness, also influence
regeneration. Taking into account the importance
of the cellular component in regeneration, the
development of an artificial graft, composed of a
biocompatible nerve guide filled with a neurotropic
matrix and seeded with Schwann cells, is a reasonable
option to enhance nerve regeneration and to
become an alternative to long autologous nerve
grafting. Over the past years several of the techniques
required to develop a transplantation program using
Schwann cells prepared in culture have been achieved.
However, the origin and the density of transplanted
cells determine the outcome. Coadjuvant treatment
with FK506 allows for enhanced regeneration and
also for preventing rejection of heterologous
Schwann cell transplants.
