| Abstract (English): |
Background: Facial nerve injury poses a major challenge in otolaryngology, where functional restoration remains critical. As autologous nerve grafts present limitations, biomaterial-based nerve guidance conduits (NGCs) offer a viable alternative for bridging nerve defects. Objective: This review covers the updated research results in NGCs in the past five years. Material and methods: Recent publications were critically reviewed. Results: This review highlights recent progress in advanced biomaterials and manufacturing methods for NGC fabrication, with emphasis on functionalization strategies—such as incorporation of stem cells, bioactive factors, topographic cues, and electrical stimulation—to synergistically enhance axonal regrowth, myelination, and functional recovery. Overall, biomaterial conduits are advancing as multifunctional integrated systems, showing strong translational potential for precision repair of facial nerves. Conclusion and significance: Over the past five years, research emphasis in this field has shifted toward developing composite conduit materials capable of actively guiding neural regeneration through the incorporation of biochemical and biological cues.

面神经损伤是耳鼻喉科面临的一项重大挑战, 因为功能重建至关重要。由于自体神经移植存在局限性, 基于生物材料的神经导管(NGC)为修复神经缺损提供了一种可行的替代方案。 本综述涵盖了近五年来关于NGC的最新研究成果。 对近期发表的文献进行了批判性回顾。 本综述重点介绍了用于NGC制备的先进生物材料和制造方法的最新进展, 尤其强调了功能化策略, 例如整合干细胞、生物活性因子、拓扑结构和电刺激, 以协同增强轴突再生、髓鞘形成和功能恢复。总体而言, 生物材料导管正作为多功能集成系统不断发展, 展现出在面神经精准修复方面的巨大转化潜力。 过去五年, 该领域的研究重点已转向开发能够通过整合生物化学和生物信号主动引导神经再生的复合导管材料。 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
