  • Title: [Hypoglosso-facial anastomosis. Results in 10 cases (author's transl)].
    Author: Renou G, Philippon J, Sénéchal G.
    Journal: Ann Otolaryngol Chir Cervicofac; 1981; 98(7-8):389-93. PubMed ID: 7340677.
    Abstract:
    The authors present the results of 10 hypoglosso-facial anastomoses performed according to the technique of J.M. Sterkers and J.M. Pelisse. In 9 cases regularly followed up: - Muscle tone reappeared between 4 and 5 months and was symmetrical in all cases. - Motility of the half of the face was visible between 4 and 7 months after the anastomosis. In 8 cases out of 9 the definitive result was good with muscle testing varying between 17 and 23/30. In one case palpebral occlusion was incomplete with testing at 13/30. Paralysis of one half of the tongue was invariably well tolerated. Hypoglosso-facial anastomosis has the value of reliability superior to other techniques, in particular facio-facial anastomosis.
