Abstract An overview of the concepts on peripheral nerve regeneration and of research on the progress in this field is carried out. Problems of regeneration and factors influencing it, both improving and worsening it, are considered, especially with respect to the clinical treatment of nerve lesions. Classical techniques of repair (sutures and grafts) as well as very new methods (e.g., direct muscular neurotisation) are discussed. Postoperative treatment and result evaluation are presented.
