Abstract
Suturing the nerve is one of the mandatory attributes in the microsurgeon’s armamentarium of skills. The chicken femoral nerve is a perfect training model for learning the basics of nerve suturing. The femoral nerve entirely repeats the course of the femoral arteries. Therefore, access to the femoral nerve is made through the same incision as in the approach to the vascular bundle. This chapter describes the basic steps of mobilization of the femoral nerve as well as the perineural suture technique.
