Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of various surgical strategies for reinnervating the facial nerve in patients who have sustained post-traumatic paralysis of the facial muscles.
Material and methods: The cohort included six male patients with a mean age of 29±7 years. Depending on the level of nerve lesion-whether intra- or extratemporal-patients underwent either triple selective reinnervation or reinnervation via the hyoid nerve (XII), accompanied by intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring.
Results: Evaluations using the House-Brackmann scale, needle electromyography, and eFACE scores indicated statistically significant improvements (p<0.05) by 12 months of follow-up for all patients. These findings underscore the effectiveness of a tailored approach and the importance of neuromonitoring.
Conclusions: The findings from this prospective study demonstrate the clinical efficacy of a differentiated surgical approach to facial nerve reinnervation in patients with post-traumatic paralysis of the facial muscles.
期刊介绍:
Одно из старейших медицинских изданий России, основанное в 1901 году. Создание журнала связано с именами выдающихся деятелей отечественной медицины, вошедших в историю мировой психиатрии и неврологии, – С.С. Корсакова и А.Я. Кожевникова.
Широкий диапазон предлагаемых журналом материалов и разнообразие форм их представления привлекают внимание научных работников и врачей, опытных и начинающих медиков, причем не только неврологов и психиатров, но и специалистов смежных областей медицины.
