title: Microsurgical repair of small nerves. Experimental study of regenerative processes.
abstract: The Authors describe an experimental study of regenerative processes of small nerves after microsurgical repair. The results obtained indicate that: the carefully cleaning up the operative fields is necessary; putting strain on the two stumps as well as over-tight stitches must be avoided; the perfectly positioning stumps, without their misalignment, is mandatory.
