    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Neurosurgery

    Background:

    • Bell's palsy affects facial nerve function.
    • Prognosis depends on nerve degeneration severity and timing.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of early surgical decompression for Bell's palsy.
    • To establish guidelines for surgical intervention based on nerve degeneration.

    Main Methods:

    • Electroneuronography used to assess nerve degeneration.
    • Surgical decompression performed on patients with significant degeneration.
    • Comparative review of treated versus untreated patients.

    Main Results:

    • Satisfactory facial function recovery (80-100%) achieved with timely surgery.
    • Surgical decompression within 24 hours is recommended for 90-94% degeneration within 21 days.
    • Unnecessary surgeries can be reduced to under 16%.

    Conclusions:

    • Early surgical decompression improves outcomes in Bell's palsy.
    • Guidelines for surgical timing based on nerve degeneration are proposed.
    • This approach optimizes treatment and minimizes unnecessary procedures.
