A successful double-layer facial nerve repair: A case presentation

Mehmet Dadaci, Erhan Sonmez, Zeynep Dadaci, Bilsev Ince, Fatma Bilgen.

Abstract
The best method to repair the facial nerve is to perform the primary repair soon after the injury, without any tension in the nerve ends. We present a case of patient who had a full-thickness facial nerve cut at two different levels. The patient underwent primary repair, recovered almost completely in the fourth postoperative month, and had full movement in mimic muscles. Despite lower success rates in double-level cuts, performing appropriate primary repair at an appropriate time can reverse functional losses at early stages, and lead to recovery without any complications.

Key words: Facial nerve, neurorrhaphy
