Defects of sixteen peripheral nerve were re-paired by skeletal muscle bridging from December1986 though December 1989. Satisfactory resultswere achieved after follow-up for 8-31 months.The key point of this operation were proper explo-ration and exposure of the nerve stumps ,thoroughresection of the cicatricial tissues from the stumpsproper chois of muscular fascicle for bridging, pro-viding a good blood supply to the muscle strip, andcorrect suture of the nerve under microscope. Irri-gation of the operativ field with hydrocortisone could play some roles of decreasing the postoperative local inflammation,edema,adhesion, and scar formation.
