ABSTRACT
The surgical approach in peripheral facial nerve injury pertains a wide scope of knowledge and strategies relevant to the nature and, the level of the nerve injury. In this chapter, the authors describe unique surgical techniques utilizing the principles of microsurgery and functional anatomy. The chapter describes a unique method for harvesting the sural nerve flap. The authors describe the arterialized venous free sural nerve flap for large nerve defects relevant to the facial nerve injury. Finally, the authors describe a special method of using the Y sural nerve graft for facial nerve reconstruction.
