[Results of repeated operations after primary nerve suture].

The results of repeat suturing of 124 nerves following a failure of the initial intervention are analysed. In most cases nerves were injured at the level of the forearm (67%). A delay of the reoperation ranged from 1 month 19 days to 2 years 11 months, more frequently 3-6 months. The results were studied basing on a clinical investigation with grade estimation of muscular strength and sensitivity, measuring skin temperature, perspiration rate and the use of electrophysiological methods.

Follow-Up Studies

[Predicting the outcome of nerve suture].

The late results of nerve suture were studied in 398 patients with injury of one or more nerves and coding cards containing formalized data of the primary examination of the patients and the operative data were filled in. After mathematical processing of these data on an electronic computer (CBM-6000) using the linear regression method, 4 formulas were obtained from which a physician practicing in any field of medicine can prognosticate in 5-7 min the degree of restoration of the limb function and the working rehabilitation of individuals who had suffered injury of the nerves.
