This article describes the mechanisms of peripheral nerve healing and the efforts to achieve an optimal healing outcome. The mainstay of treatment has been adherence to good surgical technique and the use of microsurgical equipment. Despite advances in microsurgery, complete structural and functional recovery is uncommon. Research focused on adjunctive methods for nerve repair is also reviewed in this article.
