title: Facial nerve injury. A short review.
abstract: Despite considerable advances in technique, experience and skill, the precise place of surgery in the treatment of facial nerve injury remains uncertain. The mechanism of delayed facial palsy is not yet clear, and there is still debate about the value of tests for early evidence of denervation. Recent literature has been reviewed.
