Plain-language verified summary

Question

The objective of this study is to explore the potential benefits of the first replicated, graft-induced neuroregeneration of denervated skeletal muscle regarding long-term clinical outcomes and to investigate the effect of Cerebrolysin on neuromodulation.

Methods

This second report is focused on the evidence of peripheral nerve graft (PNG) induced regeneration of denervated internal oblique abdominal muscle (IOAM) fibers, as the authors were ultimately interested in using GB’s paradigm for a new alternative microsurgical concept in restorative microsurgery of human brachial plexus and SCI lesions.

Scale or participants

Secondary data analyses of evidence from our previously reported graft-induced neuroplasticity in rats after replicating Brunelli's CNS-PNS concept were included [1,2,11].

Key findings

The objective of this study is to explore the potential benefits of the first replicated, graft-induced neuroregeneration of denervated skeletal muscle regarding long-term clinical outcomes and to investigate the effect of Cerebrolysin on neuromodulation.

Limitations and uncertainty

GB's microsurgical connection of CNS-PNS by PNG successfully replicated normal histology-morphology, demonstrating the correct positioning of the implanted sural NG within the right CST.
