| Research Abstract |
For the treatment of established facial paralysis, we primary aimed to develop volitional controlled implantable functional electrical stimulation device. Design of electrical circuit which is minimized for implantation was optimised. Therefore, way of electrical supply to subcutaneously implanted device was searched. Especially non-touching charging system was aimed but fialed in the experimental settings. On the other hand, we investigated the utility of distal side of nerve stump for the innervation of transplanted muscle segment during free neurovascular muscle transfer with animal experimental model and clinical cases. The utility was confirmed both experimentally and clinically.
