Dynamic Facial Reanimation for Facial Palsy

This study observed earlier recovery in patients who had undergone single-stage free <i>gracilis</i> muscle transfer with motor innervation from the ipsilateral nerve to the masseter compared to the cross-facial nerve transfer. The oral commissure symmetry at rest and during excursion among patients with facial paralysis treated with free <i>gracilis</i> muscle transfer in Oman was found to be near normal.
