    Abstract:
    From September 1976 to November 1991 a series of 34 patients with peripheral iatrogenal facial paralysis after removal of cerebellopontine angle tumors or parotid-gland surgery were treated by hypoglossal-facial anastomosis (hypoglossal-facial/hypoglossal-hypoglossal in 38.24% of cases). Patients were divided into two groups: Group A with early anastomosis and Group B with delayed anastomosis. In the first group, 57.14% of the cases presented "excessive reinnervation"; and in the second group, 95.0% of cases presented "good" or "excellent" results. In this paper we analyze and discuss our results and review the literature.
