Surgical Nerve Repair.. How you do it?
Surgical Nerve Repair.. How you do it? How you put the segmented nerve back together?

best nn for graft
Sural (BEST)
or greater auricula
seddons class for nn injury
neuropraxia, axonemtesis, neurometesis
neuropraxia
Neurapraxia: It is a Conduction block resulting from mild insult to nerve trunk.
Temporary paralysis of a nerve caused by lack of blood flow or by pressure on the affected nerve with no loss of structural continuity.
There is no axonal degeneration, and sensory recovery is complete and occurs in a matter of hours to several days.
The sensory deficit is usually mild and characterized by paresthesia
axonemetis
Neural tube intact, but axons are disrupted.
Axonotmesis: It is a more severe injury as compared to Neurapraxia. Afferent nerve fibers undergo degeneration, but the nerve trunk is grossly intact.
Sensory recovery is good but incomplete.
The period of recovery is related to the rate of axonal regeneration and usually takes several months.
The sensory deficit is characterized by severe parasthesia
neurotmesis
Neurotmesis: This is the most severe kind of nerve injury where complete disruption of the nerve takes place.
The sensory deficit is characterized by anesthesia.
Injuries are likely permanent without repair
The neural tube is severed

teeth
- Provide bone for the eruption and/or orthodontic repositioning of
- Closure of oro-nasal fistulas

Recommended to resolve
velopharyngeal incompetence after patients prove unable to
achieve significant speech improvements through speech therapy
alone.
* Other requirements to qualify for
* The goals of surgery are to eliminate the symptoms of
hypernasality and eliminate audible nasal emissions without
causing complete obstruction of the velopharyngeal port,
allowing for nasal breathing and nasal resonance.
* The pharyngeal flap has been the most common method for secondary management of VPI . the surgery include a short and immobile or easily fatigued palate.
Age 6-9
What’s special about Palatoplasty? There are layered closure. What are the layers?
what time is it done?
11-12 months

palatoplasty techniques

palatoplasty scarring
Trend is towards less scarring and less tension on the palate.
* Scarring of the palate may cause impaired midfacial growth
(Alveolar arch collapse, midface retrusion, malocclussion)
* Facial growth may be less affected if surgery is delayed until 18 -24
months, but feeding, speech, socialization may suffe
