Publisher Description

Resumen Si un nervio periferal es triturado, o si se corta el nervio y se suturan sus extremidades no mucho tiempo despues de la lesion, hay una buena recuperacion neurologica. Cuando un pedazo de nervio periferal es destruido y no es posible realizar una anastomosis, la tecnica estandar para reparar el nervio es injertar un pedazo/s de nervio sensorial del paciente en el espacio. Para espacios de menos de 2 cm la recuperacion neurologica es moderada, para espacios de 2-4 cm hay una pobre recuperacion, y para espacios.4 cm la recuperacion es bien limitada o inexistente. La recuperacion limitada se debe a que los nervios sensoriales actuan como un armazon pasivo para la regeneracion de los axones y no promueven una regeneracion activa de los axones. A pesar de esto, esta tecnica permanece siendo el "estandar predilecto" para la reparacion de nervios. Se requiere de nuevas tecnicas que induzcan una mejor recuperacion neurologica. Este articulo revisa tecnicas clinicas y de investigacion que promuevan recuperacion neurologica despues de una lesion traumatica del nervio peripheral.
