Negative Pressure Neurogenesis: A Novel Approach to Accelerate Nerve Regeneration after Complete Peripheral Nerve Transection

Background:. Various modalities to facilitate nerve regeneration have been described in the literature with limited success. We hypothesized that negative pressure applied to a sectioned peripheral nerve would enhance nerve regeneration by promoting angiogenesis and axonal lengthening. Methods:. Wis...
