All patients underwent facial nerve decompression via TEA, during which the surgical procedure steps were recorded.

Of these patients, 5 had injuries located at the geniculate ganglion and 1 at the tympanic segment. Preoperatively, the facial nerve function of the patients was graded as grade V in 5 patients and grade IV in 1 patient. All patients had an electroneurography value of \u226590%. At 6 months postoperatively, facial nerve function improved to HB grade I in 4 patients and grade II in 2 patients, and the overall improvement was statistically significant (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = .024).
