Unilateral facial paralysis and facial nerve paresis

Innovative and modern methods of treating unilateral facial nerve paresis and unilateral facial palsy.

Unilateral paresis of the facial nerve is a consequence of its damage.

The reasons may be:

hypothermia,

infectious (viral infection of herpes simplex, herpes zoster and others),

non-communicable diseases (diabetes mellitus, Lyme disease and others),

toxic effects,

injuries.

Typical symptoms are:

— Loss of facial expressions on the affected side of the face;
— Facial asymmetry: inability to lower the eyelid (risk of damage to the cornea of the eye), smoothing of the forehead, drooping corner of the mouth;
— Decreased saliva secretion;
— Decreased tear production (dry eye);
— Sensitivity to noise.
— Pain in the ear area.

— Pain in the temple area.

— Partial or complete loss of taste.

We offer the best specialists in the field of treatment of unilateral facial paralysis and offer all current and modern innovative methods of therapy.
Before starting treatment, the focus is on an accurate and comprehensive diagnosis of changes in facial nerve function.

After accurately determining the extent and severity of the disorders, we will draw up a treatment plan and discuss it in detail with you.

Treatment methods:

1. Reconstruction using the primary nerve connection.
2. Nerve transplantation using an interplant (for example, the sural nerve from the lower leg) to eliminate defects.
3. Transverse facial nerve transplantation (connecting the facial nerve of the healthy unaffected side with a nerve graft that can be taken from the lower leg without significant loss of function of the sural nerve).
4. Neuromuscular transposition: transposition of a fully functional muscle from another part of the body into the musculature of the paralyzed side to restore facial expressions
5. Static surgery: minor surgery to correct facial asymmetry.
6. Reconstructive surgery for eyelid closure (muscle reposition, static surgery).

Surgical treatment of facial paresis is very complex and should only be performed by experienced surgeons.
We have extensive experience in the treatment of unilateral facial paralysis and will be happy to advise you in detail on all available techniques and methods.
