A new technique to correct facial paralysis.
In two cases of unilateral ficial paralysis, the advanced atrophy of the muscles forced us to try a new technique for dynamin reanimation.  To our knowledge, this has not yet been reported in the literaturel. The technique combines a free nerve graft across the face with a free muscle graft or a muscle flap.  The result in both our cases was good.
