Abstract Peripheral nerves are complex organs that spread throughout the entire human body. They are frequently affected by lesions not only as a result of trauma but also following radical tumor resection. In fact, despite the advancement in surgical techniques, such as nerve- sparing robot assisted radical prostatectomy, some degree of nerve injury may occur resulting in erectile dysfunction with significant impairment of the quality of life. The aim of this review is to provide an overview on the mechanisms of the regeneration of injured peripheral nerves and to describe the potential strategies to improve the regeneration process and the functional recovery. Yet, the recent advances in bio- engineering strategies to promote nerve regeneration in the urological field are outlined with a view on the possible future regenerative therapies which might ameliorate the functional outcome after radical prostatectomy. 1 Introduction Radical prostatectomy is the gold standard surgical treatment for organ-confined prostate cancer. The employment of innovative surgical technique such as nerve-sparing robot assisted radical prostatectomy allowed to magnify the anatomical field leading to a three- dimensional perspective obtained through the robotic lenses and a better anatomical knowledge.

  • Trauma to the Nervous System (Dr. Merchut) 1. Pathophysiology Of
    Trauma to the Nervous System (Dr. Merchut) 1. Pathophysiology of head trauma A more diffuse force applied to the skull typically produces a linear skull fracture, while a more focal or localized force causes a depressed skull fracture. A severe skull fracture may be associated with an underlying contusion (bruise) or laceration of the brain. Fractures at the skull base, face or orbit can entrap or compress cranial nerves. Leakage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the ear or nose may signal a greater risk of infection developing in the CSF or brain itself. Treatment involves surgical removal of bone fragments and debris, and closure of any dural tears. Brain contusions are superficial hemorrhages at the tops of cortical gyri, near the point of impact (coup) or more remotely in the brain (contrecoup) from movement of the brain within the skull. They occur most often at the basal or ventral surfaces of the frontal and anterior temporal lobes (Figure 1), where the bony skull is roughened (orbital surface of frontal bone) or protuberant (edges of sphenoidal wings). Brain contusions are caused by angular or rotational, not linear, acceleration of the brain (which explains why the woodpecker survives without brain injury). Figure 1. Frequency distribution of brain contusions. Individual cases are outlined and superimposed. (From Gurdjian ES. J Trauma 16[1]:35-51, 1976.) © Dr. Michael P. Merchut Page 1 1/23/2014 Contusions or more severe intracranial hemorrhages are often associated with brain edema, due to local metabolic or ischemic processes in addition to the presence of blood. Increased intracranial pressure (ICP) decreases cerebral blood flow, creating ischemia, and compensatory cerebral autoregulation eventually fails if the edema progresses.

  • Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Is Damage Or Trauma to the Spinal Cord That Results in a Loss Or Impaired Function Causing Reduced Mobility Or Feeling
    A Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) is damage or trauma to the spinal cord that results in a loss or impaired function causing reduced mobility or feeling. Common causes of damage are trauma (car accident, gunshot, falls, sports injuries, etc.) or disease (Transverse Myelitis, Polio, Spina Bifida, Friedreich's Ataxia, etc.). The spinal cord does not have to be severed in order for a loss of functioning to occur. In most people with SCI, the spinal cord is intact, but the cellular damage to it results in loss of functioning. SCI is very different from back injuries such as ruptured disks, spinal stenosis or pinched nerves. It is possible for a person to "break their back or neck" yet not sustain a spinal cord injury as long as only the bones (the vertebrae) around the spinal cord are damaged, but the spinal cord is not affected. In these cases, the person may not experience paralysis after the vertebrae are stabilized. What is the spinal Spinal cord injury (SCI) refers to an injury to the spinal cord. It can cause myelopathy or damage to nerve roots or myelinated fiber tracts that carry signals to and from the brain.[1][2 Please read: A personal appeal from Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales Spinal cord injury From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search This article has multiple issues.

Evaluating the Use of Engineered Nervous Tissue Constructs in the Repair of Peripheral Nerve Lesions and Amputations Abstract Severe trauma to the limbs can often result in the lesioning, or even amputation, of the underlying peripheral nerves. In these cases, endogenous neural repair mechanisms are compromised and a path to the end target may be lost, resulting in the need for surgical intervention. Current repair strategies are incapable of maintaining this regenerative pathway, or providing a bridge to a surrogate end target, often resulting in incomplete repair. This thesis describes the development and evaluation of a novel method of addressing peripheral nerve lesions and amputations that utilizes living tissue-engineered neural grafts. These grafts are created by the controlled mechanical separation of axons spanning integrated neuron populations in vitro, resulting in axon tracts spanning several centimeters in length. Techniques were developed to encapsulate and transplant these tracts, with the goal of providing structural and nutrient support, while minimizing macrophage infiltration.

  • 2018 Oral Presentations PN 1. Time to Intervention Affecting Outcomes In
    2018 Oral Presentations PN 1. Time to Intervention Affecting Outcomes in Pediatric Nerve Injuries following Supracondylar Humerus Fractures Megan E Friend, MD; Elizabeth A Newman, MD; Daniel Bracey, MD, PhD; Shea Comadoll, BS; Rebecca Senehi, BS; Zhongyu Li, MD, PhD Wake Forest, Winston-Salem, NC Introduction: Supracondylar humerus fractures are the most common pediatric elbow fractures, and nerve injury is a well-documented complication associated with these fractures. While most nerve injuries following supracondylar humerus fractures spontaneously resolve, other injuries require operative intervention by a nerve specialist. The aim of this study was to determine if time from injury to surgical intervention affects clinical outcomes in nerve injuries following pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures. Materials and Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review of pediatric patients treated by the senior author for nerve injuries following supracondylar humerus fractures between 2006 and 2016. Sixteen patients with nerve injury requiring surgical intervention were identified. Chart review was performed to identify date of injury, fracture pattern, time to intervention by the senior author, and neurologic outcomes. British Medical Research Council scores for muscle strength and sensation were used to gauge recovery. A correlation analysis was performed to determine the effect on time to intervention on neurologic recovery. Results: Average time to treatment by the senior author was 8.2 ± 5.5 mo. The majority of fractures in this group were Gartland type III supracondylar fractures (62.5%). The most commonly injured nerve was the ulnar (56%), followed by the median (31%), and radial (19%). Surgical indications included neuropathic pain, worsened neurologic exam after initial reduction, muscle atrophy, nerve conduction study findings, and lack of recovery at the time of referral.

The workup of these injuries has traditionally been clinical, combined with electrodiagnostic testing. However, this has limitations, especially in the acute phase of the trauma or lack of any recovery, when it is very important to determine nerve continuity and perform surgical exploration and repair in the case of the complete transection or intraneural fibrosis. Ultrasound can help in those situations. It is a versatile imaging technique with a high sensitivity of 93% for detecting focal nerve lesions. Ultrasound can assess the structural integrity of the nerve, neuroma formation and other surrounding abnormalities of bone or foreign bodies impeding the nerve. In addition, this can help to prevent iatrogenic nerve injury by marking the nerve before the procedure. This narrative review gives an overview of why and how nerve ultrasound can play a role in the detection, management and prevention of peripheral nerve injury.
