OBJECT The topographic anatomy of the lower intercostal nerves is less well known than that of the upper ones, except for the 12th intercostal nerve. It is possible to use the lower intercostal nerves to perform a neurotization of the lumbar roots. The authors studied the anatomy of the ninth, 10th, and 11th intercostal nerves to obtain descriptive and topographic anatomical data to aid in establishing optimal conditions for harvesting. METHODS The ninth, 10th, and 11th intercostal nerves of…

The Paraspinal Splitting Approach: A Possible Approach to Perform Multiple Intercosto-Lumbar Neurotizations: An Anatomic Study
TLDR
This anatomic study confirms the advantage of the paraspinal sacrospinalis splitting approach in multiple intercosto-lumbar neurotizations, which is quick and easy and allows a good exposure of the nerve roots at the thoracic and lumbar levels.
Anatomical feasibility of anastomosing intercostal nerves (D10&D11) and subcostal nerve (D12) to S2 ventral root and lumbar plexus for management of bladder function after spinal cord injury.
Spinal cord bypass surgery with intercostal and spinal accessory nerves: an anatomical feasibility study in human cadavers.
TLDR
The feasibility of spinal accessory and intercostal nerve transfer as a means of treating SCI is supported and may assist in the preoperative selection of candidates for future human clinical trials of cervical and thoracolumbar SCI bypass surgery.
Intercostal, ilioinguinal, and iliohypogastric nerve transfers for lower limb reinnervation after spinal cord injury: an anatomical feasibility and experimental study.
TLDR
Intercostal, ilioinguinal, and iliohypogastric nerves are suitable donors to transfer to the gluteal and femoral nerves after SCI to restore some hip and knee motor functions.
Anatomic conditions for bypass surgery between rostral (T7-T9) and caudal (L2, L4, S1) ventral roots to treat paralysis after spinal cord injury.
Effective reinnervation of the quadriceps femoris by spinal ventral root cross-anastomosis in rats.
TLDR
The cross-anastomosis between spinal ventral root can partially reconstruct the function of quadriceps femoris following SCI and may have clinical implication for the treatment of human SCI.
Spinal cord bypass surgery using peripheral nerve transfers: review of translational studies and a case report on its use following complete spinal cord injury in a human. Experimental article.
TLDR
The case presented details a patient with paraplegia who regained partial motor and sensory activity following the transfer of intercostal nerves, originating above the level of the spinal cord injury, into the spinal canal below thelevel of injury.
Orthopaedic surgery for patients with central nervous system lesions: Concepts and techniques.

Intercostal nerve neurotization of the femoral nerve in patients with paraplegia--an anatomical feasibility study.
TLDR
The aim of the study was to determine the feasibility of using intercostal nerve to neurotize the femoral nerve in human cadavers and to ascertain the ideal intercostals nerve that has the anatomical course that suit this role.
The anatomical basis of a new method for re-innervation of the gluteal region in paraplegics.
TLDR
The aim of the present project is to study the feasibility of re-innervating the gluteal region directly by mobilizing intercostal nerves, extending their reach by nerve grafts and neurotization of the required area without involving other skin areas.

Reinnervation of the neurogenic bladder in the late period of the spinal cord trauma
TLDR
Results suggest that a restitutive process occurs in the bladder under novel conditions of its nerve supply provided by the intercostal nerve and by new connections established between it and the bladder nerves.
Microanatomy and number of nerve fibres of the lower intercostal nerves with respect to a nerve anastomosis. Donor nerve analysis. I. (IV).
TLDR
A crude model for calculating matching probabilities of motor and sensory fibres between donor and acceptor nerves is introduced and it is calculated that the small amount of motor nerve fibres can be best used if muscle branch of the donor nerves are connected to muscle branches of the acceptor nerve.
An anatomical analysis of the relationships between the intercostal nerves and the thoracic and abdominal muscles in man. I. Ramification of the intercostal nerves.
TLDR
Based on innervation findings, the serial homology of the thoracic and abdominal muscles was proposed and the obliquus externus abdominis appears to correspond to the intercostales interni, and the quadratus lumborum seems homologous to the Intercostales externi.

TLDR
It is possible to preserve T11, T12 in the TRAM flap, which would favour rapid return of flap sensation, and this may help to preserve the anterior abdominal wall.

Neurotization of motor nerves innervating the lower extremity by utilizing the lower intercostal nerves.
TLDR
An animal model in the rat was developed to study the reinnervation of ventral roots contributing to lower-extremity nerves by use of intercostal nerves, and demonstrated axonal regeneration extending from the inter costal nerves to and down lumbar ventral Roots.
