title: [Evaluation of the results of the surgical treatment of nerve injuries].
abstract: From the experience with 2341 operations for nerve injuries and from the evaluation of the results obtained in 750 cases some recommendations of rational estimation of the nerve suture have been set forth. Reliable conclusions may be drawn on the basis of an objective examination of the conductability of the injured nerve only. The duration of nerve regeneration ranges widely in conformity with the type and severity degree of the injury and depending on the results of the operation. Unsuccessful surgical interventions on the nerves are usually concerned with a severe type of an injury. Repeated operations on the nerves carried out to correct an earlier failure are not infrequently difficult to perform and have poorer results than the primary ones, even when the latters are delayed for several months. The greater number of errors happen when primary nerve suture is performed in a non-specialized medical establishment.
