Objective: This article aims to explain the mechanism of recovery of peripheral nerve injury, current management and progress in nerve tissue engineering, which are promising to overcome the problems of peripheral nerve injury. Materials and Methods: we searched various sources, i.e. Pubmed, Scopus, and Google scholar to collect relevant publica-tions of peripheral nerve injury and its management, including nerve tissue engineering. Results: The development of tissue engineering has made it possible to regenerate nerve tissue by a combination of cell ther-apy, appropriate design of scaffolds and the use of supporting elements. Discussion: Under current management, severe peripheral nerve injury especially injury to the proximal and large diameter nerves still has a poor prognosis. Poor prognosis is mainly due to a mismatch in nerve autograft in both structure and diameter to the host nerve. The advantage of tissue engineering techniques in the management of peripheral nerve injuries is that the engineered nerve tissue can be designed according to the structure and diameter of the damaged nerve. Conclusion: Nerve tissue engineering might overcome the problems in peripheral nerve regeneration by a combination of stem cell therapy, and appropriate design of scaffolds to provide nerve conduits. © 2021 Japan University of Health Sciences & Japan International Cultural Exchange Foundation.
