<br> In this outstanding volume, Thomas Brushart presents to us the biological and scientific background to today s concepts of nerve repair - which he reviews and describes in great detail. His text spans an enormous panorama - from laboratory to operating theater, from mechanoreceptor to brain cortex, from surgical technique to evaluation of clinical outcome, from touch to motion. He presents to us the mystery behind axonal regeneration and orientation, however always with a focus on the nerve-injured patient....This is an exceptional piece of work which will remain a true classic over many years to come for everyone interested in peripheral nerve problems. -- Professor G ran Lundborg, Department of Hand Surgery, Lund University, Skane University Hospital, Malm, Sweden<p><br> Tom Brushart, as a leading nerve repair surgeon and experimentalist has taken on this monumental task. Nerve Repair is not intended to be a surgical manual of nerve repair techniques....Instead [Brushart] has laid out the entire theoretical and experimental basis...of peripheral nerve repair. The result is a wonderful book that will be valuable to both clinicians and basic scientists...This book is a huge undertaking by a single author who is an expert in clinical and experimental nerve repair, full of insights and thoughts about the future. Its focus on research; clinical, animal and basic neurobiology makes it essential reading for anyone involved in nerve repair. -- James W. Fawcett, PhD, FRCP, Chairman, Cambridge University Centre for Brain Repair, UK<p><br> Dr. Brushart provides us with a novel, comprehensive and critical account of the normal and injured peripheral nerve. It spans the anatomy, physiology, neuropathology and molecular biology of the normal nerve and the changes that occur after injury and repair ...

Author Information

Dr. Thomas Brushart, MD, received his undergraduate and medical training at Harvard University. For over 25 years he has cared for patients with hand and peripheral nerve injuries while maintaining a research program in peripheral nerve regeneration. This synergy has culminated in the writing of Nerve Repair, a translational work that integrates clinical and research findings to achieve a new perspective on nerve repair and regeneration.
