Training of nerve suturing techniques allows the novice surgeon to restore the structural and functional integrity of the nerves in clinical practice with greater confidence. The most practical model for training is a motor nerve with more than two fascicles. The sciatic nerve is very popular both for training microsurgical skills and as a model in research. This chapter describes the basic techniques of nerve coaptation as well as the operative exposure of the sciatic nerve.
