Cranial Nerve Repair Success

Advanced nerve repair restored facial motor control.

Electroneuronography showed 90% degeneration of facial nerve. High-resolution MRI identified 1.5cm nerve gap. Blink reflex testing evaluated trigeminal-facial pathway. Topognostic testing localized injury to tympanic segment.

Microsurgical Nerve Repair & Cable Grafting

cranial-nerve-repair

Advanced nerve repair restored facial motor control.

Sural nerve cable grafts (three 6cm segments) bridged nerve gap. Epineurial repair under 40x magnification. Fibrin glue reinforced anastomosis. Intraoperative nerve stimulation confirmed distal stump viability.

Topognostic testing localized injury to tympanic segment. Sural nerve cable grafts (three 6cm segments) bridged nerve gap. Epineurial repair under 40x magnification. Fibrin glue reinforced anastomosis. Intraoperative nerve stimulation confirmed distal stump viability. Serial EMG showed first voluntary motor units at 5 months. Mirror biofeedback prevented synkinesis. Facial retraining exercises improved smile symmetry. Botulinum toxin managed hypertonicity in unaffected side. House-Brackmann scale improved from Grade V to Grade II. Complete eye closure achieved, eliminating need for lubricants. Oral competence restored normal eating and drinking. Emotional expression symmetry confirmed by facial recognition software analysis.
