Fascial pulley: Cross-commissure lip reanimation for inferior division facial nerve paralysis
The risks of causing further harm to the facial nerve are greater in surgery for partial facial paralysis. We present a new active and passive reconstruction technique for paralysis of the buccal-mandibular divisions of the facial nerve. Our fascial pulley technique of reanimation and suspension of...

Zusammenfassung: | The risks of causing further harm to the facial nerve are greater in surgery for partial facial paralysis. We present a new active and passive reconstruction technique for paralysis of the buccal-mandibular divisions of the facial nerve. Our fascial pulley technique of reanimation and suspension of the oral commissure produces no further injury to the facial nerve and the eyelids. In addition, it adds a better technique to the armamentarium of the reconstructive surgeon dealing with partial lower facial nerve paralyses. |
