97 REVASCULARIZATION PATTERNS OF NERVE ALLOGRAFTS 5 Long-term outcomes of vascular volume and vascular surface area Vascularization outcomes obtained using vascular volume and vascular surface area are shown in Table 2 for control, autograft, allograft and SIEF nerve samples at 12 and 16 weeks. Significance is visualized in Figure 4 (vascular volume) and Figure 5 (vascular surface area). Figure 4. Vascular volume of nerve groups at 12 and 16 weeks using micro CT. Results of control, autograft, allograft and allograft wrapped in a pedicled superficial inferior epigastric fascial (SIEF) flap were expressed as a percentage (vessel %) of the total nerve area and were given as the mean ± SEM. *Indicates significance at P<0.05, *** P<0.0001. SEM = Standard error of the mean Figure 5. Vascular surface area of nerve groups at 12 and 16 weeks using digital photography .
