Peripheral facial nerve defects resulting from oncological resection necessitate early repair, and underscore the need for accurate intraoperative assessment of their extent. This study proposes a span-based classification system for peripheral facial nerve defects, based on the length and location of the defect. The system delineates specific defect characteristics and provides practical guidance for intraoperative decision-making and personalised repair plans.
