Factors influencing outcomes of simultaneous hypoglossal-facial and cervical-hypoglossal nerve anastomoses for facial palsy
Objective
The hypoglossal-facial and cervical-hypoglossal nerve anastomoses (HFCHA) technique addresses severe facial palsy after cerebellopontine angle (CPA) tumor resection. However, postoperative facial function recovery and tongue dysfunction vary significantly among patients. This study identifies prognostic factors influencing these outcomes.
Methods
We retrospectively followed up on 43 patients with facial palsy who underwent HFCHA for CPA tumor resection (July 2019–December 2022). The patients were divided into two groups based on their recovery of facial function or tongue function: the good recovery group and the poor recovery group; or the tongue dysfunction group and the normal tongue function group. Potential prognostic factors were evaluated using univariate and multivariable analyses.
Results
Patients with a duration of facial palsy less than 10.75 months may exhibit an increased likelihood of achieving improved facial function recovery following surgical intervention. Compared to individuals who engaged in longer postoperative tongue rehabilitation exercises, patients whose exercise duration was shorter than 4.5 months demonstrated a tendency towards experiencing tongue dysfunction after surgery.
Conclusions
A shorter time interval between facial nerve injury and surgery helps with the recovery of facial palsy. Longer postoperative tongue rehabilitation exercises may also potentially alleviate tongue dysfunction.
期刊介绍:
This International journal, Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, publishes articles on clinical neurosurgery and neurology and the related neurosciences such as neuro-pathology, neuro-radiology, neuro-ophthalmology and neuro-physiology.
The journal has a broad International perspective, and emphasises the advances occurring in Asia, the Pacific Rim region, Europe and North America. The Journal acts as a focus for publication of major clinical and laboratory research, as well as publishing solicited manuscripts on specific subjects from experts, case reports and other information of interest to clinicians working in the clinical neurosciences.
