Spider's silk could be used to repair human nerve damage in 'exciting' new treatment.  Silk from spiders is made into tiny tubes that bridge gaps between damaged nerves.  

The treatment was created by Oxford-based Newrotex, founded by trauma surgeon Dr Alex Woods.  He says the time for nerve repair surgery can be dramatically reduced.  

While research trials are in early stages, it is hoped the treatment will be offered for NHS patients in 2025.  This could mean, men having prostate cancer surgery need no longer worry about erectile dysfunction and incontinence.  Breast sensitivity could be restored after a mastectomy.
