Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Salvaging a failed gracilis free muscle transfer (GFMT) for facial reanimation is possible by transferring the nerve to masseter (NTM) to the obturator nerve, even after 11 months. This technique offers hope for improved facial movement outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Microsurgery
  • Facial Reanimation

Background:

  • Facial reanimation surgery aims to restore movement to the face.
  • Gracilis free muscle transfer (GFMT) is a common technique.
