[Reconstruction of the lingual nerve following iatrogenic lesion]
1Lindenhofspital Bern.
Abstract:
Because of its topographic location, the lingual nerve is exposed to injury during intraoral surgery. An iatrogenic lesion is indeed an infrequent, but an unpleasant complication for both the patient and the doctor. Experience in peripheral nerve surgery increased the success rate of a reconstruction of the lingual nerve.
