Abstract

Nerve damage is a common severe trauma caused by a complete or partial disruption of the integrity of the nerve trunk and appropriate dissociation of the CNS and denervated tissue. «Golden standard» in the treatment of extensive injuries of peripheral nerves is the use of autografts of nerve fibers, but when they are used, pathological disturbances appear in the donor zone and the results of surgical treatment are not always satisfactory. Currently, an alternative to the traditional method is the use of nerve conduits (conductors) for directed regeneration of axons. In this work, the results of the application of nerve conductors from various materials and with various biologically active components in preclinical and clinical studies, as well as conduits used in clinical practice, were analyzed. The efficiency of regeneration was compared, on the basis of the analysis the conductor most suitable for successful nerve regeneration was selected, including approaches for creating innervated tissue engineered constructs. In this work, we have collected research on nerve conductors from various materials with various prescribed properties using certain factors used to treat damage to the peripheral nervous system, showing all the advantages and disadvantages of their use, which makes it possible to develop and create a conduit that meets all the requirements of modern regenerative medicine.
