Effects of eliminating tension by means of epineural stitches: a comparative electrophysiological and histomorphometrical study using different suture techniques in an animal model

Abstract: Epineural stitches are a means to avoid tension in a nerve suture. We evaluate this technique, relative to interposed grafts and simple neurorraphy, in a rat model. Method: Twenty rats were allocated to four groups. For Group 1, sectioning of the sciatic nerve was performed, a segment 4 mm long discarded, and epineural suture with distal anchoring stitches were placed resulting in slight tension neurorraphy. For Group 2, a simple neurorraphy was performed. For Group 3, a 4 mm long graft was employed and Group … Show more

“…However, this technique may lead to scar contracture and joint stiffness. 4 The interposition of autogenous graft has been developed to bridge the defect, making a connection between the stumps possible and allowing axonal growth in an environment that is adequate for biological regeneration. This technique is recommended when there is loss of a nerve segment and the direct suture without tension is impossible.…”

“…Se realizó solo una técnica quirúrgica de neurorrafia por animal, utilizando al miembro inferior derecho y dejando el miembro contralateral inalterado 21,54 como lo indican las normas internacionales de uso y cuidado de animales de laboratorio. 81 Bajo anestesia general se le realizó el abordaje al nervio ciático derecho según técnica 8,9 (ver adelante) y se efectuó una sección trasversal en ángulo recto en la porción media de dicho nervio.…”

“…La velocidad de conducción fue determinada dividiendo la latencia por la distancia de 30 mm entre los electrodos, y fue denominada VCM. 8,9 Esta determinación permitió analizar cuantitativamente la viabilidad de la neurorrafia mediante su conducción eléctrica.…”
