Manual stimulation of facial muscles improves functional recovery after hypoglossal–facial anastomosis and interpositional nerve grafting of the facial nerve in adult rats

Neurobiology of Disease, 2007
The facial nerve in humans is often prone to injuries requiring surgical intervention. In the best case, nerve reconstruction is achieved by a facial–facial anastomosis (FFA), i.e.

Facial Nerve Repair following Acute Nerve Injury

Archives of Plastic Surgery, 2022
Abstract Background Acute facial nerve iatrogenic or traumatic injury warrants rapid management with the goal of reestablishing nerve continuity within 72 hours. However, reconstructive efforts should be performed up to 12 months from the time of injury since facial musculature may still be viable and thus facial tone and function may be ...

Muscle-Nerve-Nerve Grafting Improves Facial Reanimation in Rats Following Facial Nerve Injury [PDF]

Frontiers in Neurology, 2021
Nerve injury resulting in muscle paralysis from trauma or surgery is a major medical problem. Repair of such injuries with existing nerve grafting and reconstructive techniques often results in less than optimal outcomes. After previously demonstrating significant return of function using muscle-nerve-muscle (MNM) grafting in a rat facial nerve model ...

Application of Different Techniques in Facial Nerve Reconstruction on Experimental Models

Acta Veterinaria, 2023
The facial nerve is the main motor nerve that activates the mimic musculature of the face. Nerve tree injuries lead to paralysis of the same half of the face. In addition to functional damage in the form of difficulty in chewing, speaking and closing the

Exploring the relationship between the level of facial nerve injury and surgical outcome: Application of a new anatomical classification system in a limited cohort undergoing marginal mandibular nerve reconstruction

JPRAS Open
Background: Reconstruction of the marginal mandibular nerve (MMN) is important for achieving optimal outcomes in the treatment of facial paralysis. However, the heterogeneity of injuries, ranging from extensive proximal facial nerve injuries to isolated ...

Stab injury to the preauricular region with laceration of the external carotid artery without involvement of the facial nerve: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2017
Background Open injuries to the face involving the external carotid artery are uncommon. These injuries are normally associated with laceration of the facial nerve because this nerve is more superficial than the external carotid artery.
