An experimental animal model of a vascularized graft is presented as an alternative to recover faster function. The technique is described and the model compared to a conventional graft in the sciatic nerve of a rabbit. Results are evaluated with histological studies and quantified using a computer to measure the thickness of the myelin sheath as a correspondence factor of regeneration. Results showed a more favorable regeneration when a vascularized graft was used.
