He discovered that it is better not to assemble two mutually facing ends of a severed nerve, if the distance exceeds a certain length, but to bridge the distance (i.e. the \u201chole\u201d) between the two ends by transplanting an autologous, expendable nerve.<\/p>\n<p>This discovery made Prof. Millesi world famous. It was based on the recognition that it is essential to combine nerve endings completely without tension with each other. If instead split nerve ends are sewn together under tension, this triggers a scarring response at the seam that represents a mechanical barrier and prevents the sprouting of the nerve fibers. The idea was simple, nerves respond to strain or pressure just like any other fiber, they produce scar tissue. To ensure complete absence of tension at the seam, it is better to take a longer route growth.<\/p>\n<p>The plans prepared by Prof. Millesi in Principles for Surgery of the Peripheral Nerves are the current international standard and have helped countless people in healing or recovery of lost skills.<\/p>\n<p>The health insurance companies cover the cost of the operation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div   class='av_promobox  avia-button-yes   avia-builder-el-2  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last '><div class='avia-promocontent'><p>\n<strong>Arrange your appointment now<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I am looking forward to your visit!<br \/>\nDr. Turkof<\/p>\n<\/div><div  class='avia-button-wrap avia-button-right ' ><a href='https:\/\/www.turkof.at\/en\/contact-vienna\/'  class='avia-button  avia-color-theme-color   avia-icon_select-yes-left-icon avia-size-large avia-position-right '   ><span class='avia_button_icon avia_button_icon_left ' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue83c' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'><\/span><span class='avia_iconbox_title' > Contact us<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":16269,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[],"portfolio_entries":[7577],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v15.9.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Nerve reconstruction - Univ.-Prof. Dr. Edvin Turkof | Sch\u00f6nheitschirurg - Plastische Chirurgie Wien<\/title>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.turkof.at\/en\/procedures\/nerve-reconstruction\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Nerve reconstruction - Univ.-Prof. Dr. Edvin Turkof | Sch\u00f6nheitschirurg - Plastische Chirurgie Wien\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.turkof.at\/en\/procedures\/nerve-reconstruction\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Univ.-Prof. Dr. Edvin Turkof | Sch\u00f6nheitschirurg - Plastische Chirurgie Wien\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2020-11-10T10:54:05+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.turkof.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Nervenrekonstruktion.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"2000\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\">\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"3 minutes\">\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.turkof.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/17200"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.turkof.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.turkof.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/portfolio"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.turkof.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17200"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.turkof.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/17200\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.turkof.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16269"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.turkof.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17200"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.turkof.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17200"},{"taxonomy":"portfolio_entries","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.turkof.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio_entries?post=17200"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
