Abstract

Background: The timing of outcome assessments and tools used to track results after facial reanimation procedures varies considerably throughout the literature. Comparative evaluation of results is not possible without standardized reporting guidelines.

Objective: To develop standardized outcome reporting guidelines for commonly performed facial reanimation procedures using expert consensus.

Methods: Twenty-two international facial nerve experts participated in online surveys between January 2025 and August 2025 to review and report current practices in facial reanimation outcomes research. This group met in person in September 2025 to develop outcome standardization statements. A final online survey established consensus, defined by agreement of at least 80% of the group.

Results: Experts represented 12 countries and 5 continents. They developed guidelines for general outcomes reporting (6), facial nerve repair (6), free muscle transfer smile reanimation (9), selective facial myectomies (8), nerve transfers (7), selective facial neurectomies (6), and static facial suspension and temporalis transfer (5). Of these statements, all but one reached consensus. The entire group agreed on 35 (74%) statements.

Conclusions: A multispecialty international group of facial reanimation experts developed 46 consensus recommendations for reporting outcomes after facial reanimation procedures. These guidelines should facilitate unbiased evaluation of surgical results and comparative effectiveness research.

面部再生手术结果报告标准化的国际和多专业专家共识。

背景：在整个文献中，结果评估的时间和用于跟踪面部再生手术后结果的工具差异很大。如果没有标准化的报告准则，就不可能对结果进行比较评价。目的：利用专家共识为常用的面部再生手术制定标准化的结果报告指南。方法：在2025年1月至2025年8月期间，22名国际面神经专家参与了在线调查，以回顾和报告面部复苏结果研究的现状。该小组于2025年9月亲自召开会议，制定结果标准化声明。最终的在线调查建立了共识，至少有80%的人同意。结果：专家来自5大洲的12个国家。他们制定了一般结果报告(6)、面神经修复(6)、自由肌肉转移微笑恢复(9)、选择性面肌切除术(8)、神经转移(7)、选择性面神经切除术(6)和静态面部悬吊和颞肌转移(5)的指南。在这些声明中，除了一条以外，其余的都达成了共识。全体受访者同意35项（74%）的观点。结论：一个多专业的国际面部再生专家小组就面部再生手术后的报告结果提出了46项共识建议。这些指南应促进对手术结果的公正评价和比较有效性研究。
