Abstract: Tremendous advances in peripheral nerve repair have been made. A thorough understanding of peripheral nerve cellular structure and physiology is very important in achieving an optimal functional result. This chapter focuses on classical and recent technical aspects of nerve repair including direct repair, nerve autograft, nerve tube repair, end-to-side nerve repair, nerve allograft, nerve transfer, and the use of nerve glue in nerve repair. The future of nerve repair will likely harness technological, cellular, and molecular advancements in improving the outcome of nerve repair.
