Abstract

The present study was conducted to evaluate and compare on anatomical bases between the different types of nerve graft, autograft, collagen tubes (natural polymers), and acellular epineurial nerve sheaths (biological conduits), which included acellular rabbit nerve graft and acellular rat nerve graft.

Fourty local breaded rabbits were used and divided into four groups, each of ten rabbits. Then each group was subdivided again into two subgroups according to time of scarifying, which was after 45 days and 3 months post operation.
