| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In 10 rabbits, four branches of facial nerve were experimentally sectioned and reconstructed with cable grafts and end-to-side nerve graft with epineural suture and partial neurectomy. Morphological investigation showed that regenerating axons of the facial nerve trunk regenerate into each distal branches.
The technique was applied in 3 patients and satisfactory functional recovery was obtained.
