ObjectiveTo summarize the research progress of autologous vein nerve conduit for the repair of peripheral nerve defect. MethodsThe recent domestic and foreign literature concerning autologous vein nerve conduit for repair of peripheral nerve defect was analyzed and summarized. ResultsA large number of basic researches and clinical applications show that the effect of autologous venous nerve conduit is close to that of autologous nerve transplantation in repairing short nerve defect, especially the compound nerve conduit has a variety of autologous nerve tissue, cells, and growth factors, etc. ConclusionAutologous vein nerve conduit for repair of non-nerve defect can be a good supplement of autologous nerve graft, improvement of autologous venous catheter to repair peripheral nerve defect is the research direction in the future.
