Basing on the experimental results, 48 nerve defects (with the length of 3-4 cm in 21 cases, 4.1-5cm in 25 cases and 6cm in 2 cases) were repaired clinically by using vaseularized nerve sheath canal with living Schwann s cells, 87.5 percent of them obtained good results. The advantages were: (1) The neural sheath had rich blood supply with resultant less scar from its healing; (2) The living Schwann s cells would secrete somatomedin to promote the reproduction of neural tissues; and (3) The useless neurofib...
