Abstract:
scientific papers concerning peripheral nerve surgery of upper extre mity were presented at the5th Congress of the Asian Pacific Fed eration of Societies for Surgery of t he Hand.Adult brachial plexus injur y,ob-stetric brachial plexus palsy,other nerves injuries of upper extremity,and experimental research on perip heral nerve were explored.For nerve root avulsion in adult brachial plexus injury,MR myelography is an effective evaluation method,and the nerve transfers of extra-plexus or intra-plexus are majo r treatment techniques.Progress in clinical or basic research on peripheral nerve h as been made in the following:modified Oberlin' s procedure for the treatment of upper brachial plexus injury,contr alateral C7transfer and phrenic nerve transfer,double free muscle tran splantation(Dois procedure)for the reconstruction of prehensio n in total root avulsion,late functional reconstruction of OBPP,skeletal muscle recovery following microsurgical restoration of intra muscular innervation,and promotin g effect of im-munosuppressant FK506on periphera l nerve regeneration.
