Severall studies, which show that peripheral nerves can be elongated by tissue expansion technique have been reported although the effects of this expansion to the nerve have not been perfectly investigated. In this study, we examined canine sciatic nerve which is elongated with baloon technique, histologically and electrophysiologically. Anahtar Kelimeler : Peripheral nerve repairing, nerve expansion
