Extratemporal facial nerve grafting and radiotherapy. [Effects of parotid gland radiotherapy on success of subsequent facial nerve grafts]

Journal Article · · Arch. Otolaryngol.; (United States)
Nineteen patients with extratemporal facial nerve grafting procedures and 13 patients with facial hypoglossal anastomosis were followed up with serial photographs for at least one year. The photographic analysis of the results demonstrates that radiotherapy had a detrimental influence on the return of facial movements after extratemporal facial nerve grafting.
