ABSTRACT
An intercostal nerve obtained from a human cadaver 6 h post-mortem was transplanted into the rat sciatic nerve and nerve regeneration was observed 4 and 8 weeks after surgery. Sciatic nerves from deceased rats up to 2 days post-mortem were also transplanted for comparison. Good nerve regeneration was observed through the human cadaver-derived graft to the distal segment at the medial plantal nerve 8 weeks after surgery. The results of the present study indicate the possibility that nerves from human cadavers can be used for nerve grafting in clinical applications.
