    Summary

    Hypoglossofacial anastomosis offers reliable facial re-innervation, particularly for tumors in the pontocerebellar angle. This surgical technique provides satisfactory results in most cases, restoring facial nerve function.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Reconstructive Surgery

    Context:

    • Tumors of the pontocerebellar angle often necessitate complex surgical interventions.
    • Facial nerve paralysis can result from tumor excision, requiring reconstructive procedures.
    • Hypoglossofacial anastomosis is a critical technique for restoring facial nerve function.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of hypoglossofacial anastomosis in patients with facial nerve paralysis.
    • To assess the outcomes of hypoglossofacial anastomosis in cases of pontocerebellar angle tumors.
    • To compare different technical variations of hypoglossofacial anastomosis.

    Summary:

    • Hypoglossofacial anastomosis was performed in 19 patients, primarily for pontocerebellar angle tumors, achieving success in 16 cases.
    • The procedure was successful both during initial surgery and as a later-stage intervention.

  • Both classical and modified techniques, including muscle implantation, yielded good results, though direct comparison is pending.

    • Impact:

    • Hypoglossofacial anastomosis is the current gold standard for achieving consistent, satisfactory results in facial nerve reconstruction when direct suturing or grafting is required.
    • This technique offers a viable solution for patients with significant facial paralysis, improving quality of life.
