THE EFFICACY OF CORTICOSTEROID AFTER FACIAL NERVE NEURORRHAPHY: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

Background: In case of comple transection facial nerve, it is unclear whether or not corticosteroids will be beneficial after nerve neurorrhaphy.
 Aim: The purpose this systematic review was to determine are effective in promoting regeneration and functional recovery following complete Methods: Randomized controlled trials on human animal models from Ovid MEDLINE EMBASE that studied the efficacy total damage followed by neurorrhaphy. Electrophysiology, histology, were methods used evaluate results. On other hand, there no randomised experiment carried out humans. a clinical context, it's possible won't conduct involve histology.
 Results: Six investigations with 248 participants met inclusion criteria. Electrophysiological results revealed differences between systemic controls terms latency amplitude. comparison topical corticosteroid control group histologic outcomes, axon diameter groups; however, had thicker myelin. Comparing placebo eye blinking, favoured placebo.
 Conclusion: When analysing electrophysiologic outcomes models, study did demonstrate any benefits administrations neurorrhaphy transection.
