Analyzing the facial nerve at Zuker’s point using geometric morphometrics: a cadaveric study

Facial nerve branches can reliably be found at Zuker's point, regardless of sex or laterality, though the nerve does systematically deviate from Zuker's point toward the 1 o'clock position (if viewed on the right side). The position of the facial nerve relative to Zuker's point is influenced by face shape, but not sex or laterality. These results can be used to better localize the facial nerve and improve patient outcomes.
