The nerve fibres are covered by endoneurium. For a nerve fibre to repair this endoneural layer needs to be present. There are two types of nerve fibres--myelinated and non-myelinated. The myelinated nervefibres are covered by myelin sheath made of schwann cells. These schwann cells have the capacity to secrete substances which repair the nerve fibre. But, the non-myelinated ones don't have a full layer of schwann cells around them. So, they generally don't repair easily once being damaged. However, in any case, endoneurium should be present for a nerve fibre to repair. In damage of nerve fibre during surgery if the nerve is cut, it means the endoneurium is also cut(damaged) at that site. So, usually that nerve can not repair on its own.
