    A new, inexpensive technique uses leucomethylene blue to stain the facial nerve and its branches during surgery. Irrigation with ascorbic acid solution minimizes background staining, aiding nerve identification and preservation in experimental studies.

    Area of Science:

    • Surgical technique
    • Neuroanatomy
    • Medical innovation

    Background:

    • Facial nerve identification and preservation is crucial but challenging during surgery.
    • Existing methods for intraoperative nerve visualization may be complex or costly.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a novel, safe, accurate, and inexpensive intraoperative technique for staining the facial nerve and its branches.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of leucomethylene blue and ascorbic acid solution for selective nerve staining.

    Main Methods:

    • Experimental injection of leucomethylene blue into the facial nerve region in rabbits.
    • Irrigation with ascorbic acid solution to reduce staining of surrounding tissues.
    • Observation of selective staining of the facial nerve and its branches.

    Main Results:

    • The technique successfully stained the facial nerve and its branches.
    • Ascorbic acid irrigation effectively reduced background tissue staining.
    • The method demonstrated safety and accuracy in the experimental model.

    Conclusions:

    • This experimental technique offers a promising, cost-effective approach for intraoperative facial nerve visualization.
    • Further experience may lead to its application in human surgeries for improved nerve preservation.
