Abstract

Background: Erythropoietin has it euroregenerative effects. Fibrin glue may be used for nerve repair and controlled release of substances. In this study, the authors investigated the effects of erythropoietin-containing; fibrin glue on nerve repair, based on the hypothesis that erythropoietin-containing fibrin glue would positively affect nerve regeneration.
