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 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 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...
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 کاملUnilateral Multiple Facial Nerve Branch Reconstruction Using “End-to-side Loop Graft” Supercharged by Hypoglossal Nerve
BACKGROUND Extensive facial nerve defects between the facial nerve trunk and its branches can be clinically reconstructed by incorporating double innervation into an end-to-side loop graft technique. This study developed a new animal model to evaluate the technique's ability to promote nerve regeneration. METHODS Rats were divided into the intact, nonsupercharge, and supercharge groups. Artif...
