Abstract

In this study, it was aimed to assess effect of classical micro-suturing techniques combined with cyanoacrylate, used in nerve repair, on nerve regeneration in histopathological manner and to evaluate whether it could be safely used in peripheral nerve surgery. Adult Wistar-Albino female rats were used in this study. Animals were assigned into 4 groups for surgical processes as follows:
