Abstract
In recent years, there has been a resurgence of end-to-side peripheral nerve repair. This technique offers a management of a peripheral nerve defect in the absence of a suitable proximal stump. Although numerous animal laboratory investigations demonstrate motor and sensory functional recovery without deleterious effects to the donor nerve, clinical outcomes are yet to be determined.
