The effects of unilateral sciatic nerve resections at proximal (thigh) or distal (proximal calf) locations on L4–L6dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neuronal numbers have been studied in adult rats. Proximal nerve resection gave rise to a mean DRG neuronal loss of 27%, whereas in distal lesions a mean cell loss of 7% was found. This difference in cell loss between proximal and distal sciatic nerve resections is highly significant (P<0.001).
