摘要：It is wel known that peripheral nerve injury should be treated immediately in the clinic, but in some instances, repair can be delayed. This study investigated the effects of immediate versus delayed (3 days after injury) neurorrhaphy on repair of transected sciatic nerve in New Zealand rabbits using stereological, histomorphological and biomechanical methods. At 8 weeks after immediate and de-layed neurorrhaphy, axon number and area in the sciatic nerve, myelin sheath and epineurium thickness, Schwann cellmorphology, and the mechanical property of nerve fibers did not differ ob-viously. These results indicate that delayed neurorrhaphy do not produce any deleterious effect on sciatic nerve repair.
