N2 - Statement of Purpose: to develop a surgical procedure centered on an implantable degradable device able to provide a suitable biophysical environment to protect and guide spinal cord regeneration. The problem under investigation is the surgical repair of complete transection of the spinal cord. Our hypothesis is that if the transected spinal cord is provided with a suitable local environment to regenerate, there will be better chances for an anatomical re-connection and a restoration in function (figure 1).
