However, the management of a partially or completely damaged facial nerve remains an important issue. In such a case, several immediate or delayed repair techniques have been used.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p>On the basis of recent studies of successful end-to-side neurorrhaphy, the authors applied this technique in a patient with an anatomically preserved but partially injured facial nerve during vestibular schwannoma surgery. The authors interposed a sural nerve graft to reinforce the facial nerve whose partial anatomical continuity had been preserved. On follow-up examinations 18 months after surgery, satisfactory cosmetic results for facial nerve function were observed.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p>The end-to-side interposed nerve graft appears to be a reasonable alternative in cases of partial facial nerve injury, and might be a future therapeutic option for other cranial nerve injuries.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.2006.105.6.920","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,1,24]],"date-time":"2008-01-24T12:41:37Z","timestamp":1201178497000},"page":"920-923","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Using an end-to-side interposed sural nerve graft for facial nerve reinforcement after vestibular schwannoma resection"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"105","author":[{"given":"Madjid","family":"Samii","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, International Neuroscience Institute, Hannover, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrei","family":"Koerbel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, International Neuroscience Institute, Hannover, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sam","family":"Safavi-Abbasi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, International Neuroscience Institute, Hannover, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Federico","family":"Di Rocco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, International Neuroscience Institute, Hannover, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amir","family":"Samii","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, International Neuroscience Institute, Hannover, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alireza","family":"Gharabaghi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, International Neuroscience Institute, Hannover, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"key":"b1-1050920","series-title":"Br J Plast Surg","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"238","DOI":"10.1054\/bjps.1997.0188","article-title":"Variables affecting axonal regeneration following end-to-side neurorrhaphy","volume":"51","year":"1998"},{"key":"b2-1050920","series-title":"Am J Otol","first-page":"763","article-title":"Facial nerve injury caused by vestibular Schwannoma compression: severity and adaptation to maintain normal clinical facial function","volume":"20","year":"1999"},{"key":"b3-1050920","series-title":"Br Med J","first-page":"1009","article-title":"Remarks on the operative treatment of chronic facial palsy of peripheral origin","volume":"2","year":"1903"},{"key":"b4-1050920","series-title":"Plast Reconstr Surg","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2110","DOI":"10.1097\/00006534-199706000-00064","article-title":"A review of the history of end-to-side neurorrhaphy","volume":"99","year":"1997"},{"key":"b5-1050920","series-title":"J Reconstr Microsurg","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"313","DOI":"10.1055\/s-2003-42499","article-title":"Nerve repair by end-to-side coaptation or fascicular transfer: a clinical study","volume":"19","year":"2003"},{"key":"b6-1050920","series-title":"J Neurosci Methods","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"45","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jneumeth.2003.12.018","article-title":"The end-to-side peripheral nerve repair.
