Experimental study on facial nerve suturing--comparison between epineural and perineural sutures. 1988

E Yamamoto
Department of Otolaryngology, Kobe City General Hospital, Japan.

A comparison was made between epineural and perineural sutures using the orbicular is oculi branches of facial nerves of 30 cats. Nerve regeneration was slightly reduced with perineural suture without a tube compared with epineural suture with a tube, epineural suture without a tube and perineural suture with a tube, which showed similar results. A good regeneration was observed when approximation was made without tension at both cut ends of the perineurium. When the corresponding funiculus cannot be identified, epineural suture is considered sufficient.

D002415 Cats The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.

D005071 Evoked Potentials Electrical responses recorded from nerve, muscle, SENSORY RECEPTOR, or area of the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM following stimulation. They range from less than a microvolt to several microvolts. The evoked potential can be auditory (EVOKED POTENTIALS, AUDITORY), somatosensory (EVOKED POTENTIALS, SOMATOSENSORY), visual (EVOKED POTENTIALS, VISUAL), or motor (EVOKED POTENTIALS, MOTOR), or other modalities that have been reported.

D005154 Facial Nerve The 7th cranial nerve. The facial nerve has two parts, the larger motor root which may be called the facial nerve proper, and the smaller intermediate or sensory root. Together they provide efferent innervation to the muscles of facial expression and to the lacrimal and SALIVARY GLANDS, and convey afferent information for TASTE from the anterior two-thirds of the TONGUE and for TOUCH from the EXTERNAL EAR.
