Of the 24 patients who had a cable nerve graft, the greater auricular nerve was used in 15 cases. The sural nerve was used as the donor in a cross-facial nerve graft in 9 patients. Sixteen patients had transposition nerve repair: Hypoglossal and ansa cervicalis in 7 and 9 cases, respectively. Two patients had primary anastomosis after surgery for extensive malignant tumors. In this series, no patients achieved a House-Brackmann (HB) grade of II. Overall, the HB grades III, IV, and V were the best postoperative facial nerve functions achieved in 11.9%, 33.3%, and 26.2% of patients, respectively. Failure (HB grade VI) was observed in 28.6% of patients. More than half of patients (62.5%) who had either a sural nerve cable graft or a faciohypoglossal transposition had a good outcome (HB grade III or IV).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n In the present series, 45% of patients had an HB grade of III or IV at long-term follow-up.
