Optical Biopsy of Peripheral Nerve Using Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy: A New Tool for Nerve Surgeons?
Peripheral nerve injuries remain a challenge for reconstructive surgeons with many patients obtaining suboptimal results. Understanding the level of injury is imperative for successful repair. Current methods for distinguishing healthy from damaged nerve are time consuming and possess limited efficacy. Confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) is an emerging optical biopsy technology that enables dyn...
متن کاملConfocal Laser Endomicroscopy Gives GIs a Powerful New Tool
CLE can be performed with either a dedicated endoscope or a probe that passes through the accessory channel of a standard endoscope or colonoscope. Both devices offer very high magnifi cations, with resolutions in the range of 0.7 to 1.0 μm, and optical penetration of the epithelium to a depth of 250 μm, a level of resolution that rivals light microscopy. CLE also allows real-time, in vivo hist...
متن کاملNanotechnology for peripheral nerve regeneration
Peripheral nerve injuries (PNI) can lead to lifetime loss of function and disfigurement. Different methods such as conventional allograft procedures and using of biological tubes have problems for damaged peripheral nerves reconstruction. Designed scaffolds with natural and synthetic materials are now widely used in the reconstruction of damaged tissues. Utilization of absorbable and non-absorb...

متن کاملNew Techniques in Endoscopy: Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy
In the last decades many technologic advances have been done in the field of endoscopic imaging in order to achieve, from one side a better visualisation of mucosal layer to distinguish neoplastic vs non-neoplastic tissue, and, on the other side, to obtain valuable tissue specimen for pathologist to improve diagnostic rate of the procedure. Indeed one of the fundamental features of endoscopic p...
