Abstract
Dynamic and static reconstruction procedures are employed for facial reanimation in patients suffering from facial nerve paralysis. Denervation and paralysis of the facial nerves causes considerable psychological and functional damage. Facial paralysis can affect facial expressiveness, communication, smile symmetry, eye protection, and speech competence. Due to their presumed poor prognosis, patients requiring facial nerve repair in a head and neck cancer practice are historically the least likely to receive a nerve graft. Dynamic reconstruction, on the other hand, is the gold standard in neurotology since patients are unlikely to die from their underlying condition. Even with malignant pathology, extended preoperative palsy, proximal nerve injury location, radiation, or long graft length, the current series supports the use of dynamic reconstruction. Dynamic facial reconstruction should be preformed in most cases unless there’s health risk of the method.
Highlights
Dynamic and static reconstruction operations are working for facial reconstruction in patients with facial nerve paralysis
The most widely used standardised measure for determining the degree of face weakness is the House– Brackmann 6-point scale of facial nerve function. This scale falls short when it comes to describing facial paralysis that is limited to a single facial distribution
A study that looked at Patients who received static and dynamic facial nerve repair in head and neck cancer, patients received static reconstruction were 10.3 years older on average
Summary
Dynamic and static reconstruction operations are working for facial reconstruction in patients with facial nerve paralysis. A step-by-step clinical examination, which may include MRI imaging and electromyography, allows for the classification of the palsy's etiology as well as the identification of the palsy's severity and functional limitations [9]. Because it poses a range of functional, cosmetic, and emotional issues, facial nerve paralysis can be difficult to treat. Corneal protection, oral competence, restoration of voluntary and spontaneous facial movements, and minimal synkinesis are all goals of treatment To attain these objectives, a variety of static and dynamic approaches have been applied. Exclusion criteria: all other articles which did not have one of these topics as their primary end, or repeated studies, and reviews studies was excluded
