However, reconstructive efforts should be performed up to 12 months from the time of injury since facial musculature may still be viable and thus facial tone and function may be salvaged.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Methods\u2003Data of all patients who underwent facial nerve repair following iatrogenic or traumatic injury were retrospectively collected and assessed. Paralysis etiology, demographics, operative data, postoperative course, and outcome were examined.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results\u2003Twenty patients underwent facial nerve repair during the years 2004 to 2019. Data were available for 16 of them. Iatrogenic injury was the common category (n\u2009=\u200913, 81%) with parotidectomy due to primary parotid gland malignancy being the common surgery (n\u2009=\u20097, 44%). Nerve repair was most commonly performed during the first 72\u2009hours of injury (n\u2009=\u200912, 75%) and most of the patients underwent nerve graft repair (n\u2009=\u200915, 94%). Outcome was available for 12 patients, all of which remained with some degree of facial paresis. Six patients suffered from complete facial paralysis (50%) and three underwent secondary facial reanimation (25%). There were no major operative or postoperative complications.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2003Iatrogenic and traumatic facial nerve injuries are common etiologies of acquired facial paralysis. In such cases, immediate repair should be performed. For patients presenting with facial paralysis following previous surgery or trauma, nerve repair should be considered up to at least 6 months of injury. Longstanding paralysis is best treated with standard facial reanimation procedures.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0042-1751105","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,1]],"date-time":"2022-08-01T06:37:26Z","timestamp":1659335846000},"page":"501-509","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Facial
