Results of End-To-Side Hypoglossal-Facial Nerve Anastomosis in Facial Paralysis after Skull Base Surgery
Introduction: The primary aim of facial reanimation surgery is to restore tone, symmetry, and movement to the paralyzed face. Hypoglossal-facial end-to-side anastomosis provides satisfactory facial reanimation in the irreversible proximal injury of the facial nerve. This study discussed the facial function results of end-to-side anastomosing of hypoglossal nerve to facial nerve when the i...
متن کاملQuantitative facial electromyography monitoring after hypoglossal‐facial jump nerve suture
Objectives/Hypothesis The time course of the reinnervation of the paralyzed face after hypoglossal-facial jump nerve suture using electromyography (EMG) was assessed. The relation to the clinical outcome was analyzed. Study Design Retrospective single-center cohort study. Methods Reestablishment of motor units was studied by quantitative EMG and motor unit potential (MUP) analysis in 11 pat...
متن کاملSide-to-end hypoglossal to facial anastomosis with transposition of the intratemporal facial nerve.
OBJECTIVE To describe results in a large series of patients using a recent variation of hypoglossal-facial nerve anastomosis (HFA) in which the intratemporal facial nerve segment is used, obviating the need for a sensory nerve "jump graft." STUDY DESIGN Retrospective chart review. SETTING Tertiary neurotologic referral center. PATIENTS Nineteen patients (12 female/7 male subjects) with fa...
متن کاملHypoglossal-facial-jump-anastomosis without an interposition nerve graft.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS The hypoglossal-facial-anastomosis is the most often applied procedure for the reanimation of a long lasting peripheral facial nerve paralysis. The use of an interposition graft and its end-to-side anastomosis to the hypoglossal nerve allows the preservation of the tongue function and also requires two anastomosis sites and a free second donor nerve. We describe the modifi...
متن کاملHypoglossal-facial nerve anastomosis: a clinical and electrophysiological follow-up.
Eight patients with acoustic neuroma and five patients with hemifacial spasm, who had undergone hypoglossal-facial nerve anastomosis 1-14 years previously, were reviewed clinically and electrophysiologically with an electrically elicited blink reflex. Functional recovery from the anastomosis, as rigorously judged on a scale of good, fair and poor, was fair to poor. Electrically it was found tha...
