Vascularization plays a significant role in treating nerve injury, especially to avoid the central necrosis observed in nerve grafts for large and long nerve defects. It is known that sufficient vascularization can sustain cell survival and maintain cell integration within tissue-engineered constructs. Several studies have also shown that vascularization affects nerve regeneration. Motivated by these studies, vascularized nerve grafts have been developed using various different techniques, although donor site morbidity and limited nerve supply remain significant drawbacks. Tissue engineering provides an exciting alternative approach to prefabricate vascularized nerve constructs which could overcome the limitations of grafts. In this review article, we focus on the role of vascularization in nerve regeneration, discussing various approaches to generate vascularized nerve constructs and the contribution of tissue engineering and mathematical modeling to aid in developing vascularized engineered nerve constructs, illustrating these aspects with examples from our research experience.
