MeSH definition : Surgical reinnervation of a denervated peripheral target using a healthy donor nerve
and/or its proximal stump. The direct connection is usually made to a healthy postlesional
distal portion of a non-functioning nerve or implanted directly into denervated muscle
or insensitive skin. Nerve sprouts will grow from the transferred nerve into the denervated
elements and establish contact between them and the neurons that formerly controlled
another area.;
