Experimental microsurgery is a provocative field with great rewards. Nerve microsurgery is particularly challenging because the results of the operation can only be tardily observed. During this time frame, multiple complications can appear to the laboratory rats, which can influence the final results.
For this reason, when experimenting with Wistar rats, one must be familiarized with the possible complications in order to know the suitable solutions for all the issues. Lack of information and henceforth lack of action might result in compromising the final data.
