Micro-surgical fascicular nerve repair: a morphological study of the endoneurial bulge.
The phenomenon of 'endoneurial bulging' from the cut end of the divided nerve fasciculus in the rat sciatic nerve has been examined with light and scanning electron microscopy and the morphological changes compared when dividing the fasciculus with either micro-scissors or a sharp razor blade.
