The Endoscopic Diagnosis and Possible Treatment of Nerve Root Avulsions in the Management of Brachial Plexus InjuriesFrom the Department of Biology, University of Texas at El Paso, Texas, USA; The Clinique Longeraie, Lausanne, Switzerland; and Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, University Clinic of Vienna, Vienna, Austria Correspondence: J. J. Monsivais, MD, 716 Twin Hills, El Paso, Texas 79912, USA.
The spinal cord, dorsal rootlets, and ventral rootlets at the cervical level were visualized by endoscopy in ten goats. It is currently possible to visualize and document avulsed rootlets. With refinement in techniques and instruments, it will be possible to perform repairs, transfers or implantation of avulsed rootlets in the brachial plexus.
