  • Title: [Surgical facial reanimation after persisting facial paralysis].
    Author: Pasche P.
    Journal: Rev Med Suisse; 2011 Oct 05; 7(311):1914-8. PubMed ID: 22046679.
    Abstract:
    Facial reanimation following persistent facial paralysis can be managed with surgical procedures of varying complexity. The choice of the technique is mainly determined by the cause of facial paralysis, the age and desires of the patient. The techniques most commonly used are the nerve grafts (VII-VII, XII-VII, cross facial graft), dynamic muscle transfers (temporal myoplasty, free muscle transfert) and static suspensions. An intensive rehabilitation through specific exercises after all procedures is essential to archieve good results.
