title: [Research progress of effect of donor nerve on regeneration of recipient nerve in end-to-side neurorrhaphy].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To review the researches of donor nerve's promoting effect on regeneration of recipient nerve in end-to-side neurorrhaphy at home and abroad.
  
  
  METHODS
  The latest original literature concerning donor nerve's accelerating effect on regeneration of recipient nerve was extensively reviewed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Proper nerve cutting may promote nerve regeneration. But how to quantize the cutting volume was still a challenge.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  It is important to research the donor nerve in neurorrhaphy, which can provide evidence for clinical neurorrhaphy so as to achieve good results.
