From: Surgical anatomy of the ovine sural nerve for facial nerve regeneration and reconstruction research
Demonstration of sural nerve graft to the buccal branch with end-to-end neurorrhaphy. (A) Schematic diagram of sural nerve graft. end-to-end neurorrhaphy was performed 10 mm distal to the edge of parotid gland (PG). (B) Microscopical image of end-to-end neurorrhaphy. Fifteen millimeter-sural nerve was grafted 6 perineural sutures using 10-0 nylon to bridge the defect of buccal branch with end-to-end neurorrhaphy under the surgical microscope. One unit indicates 1 mm.
