Free anterolateral thigh flap and masseter nerve transfer for reconstruction of extensive periauricular defects: Surgical technique and clinical outcomes
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Microsurgery"
DOI: 10.1002/micr.30086
Abstract: Radical tumor ablation in the periauricular area often results in extensive soft tissue defects, including facial nerve sacrifice, bone and/or dura defects. Reconstruction of these defects should aim at restoring facial reanimation, wound closure, and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/5584_2018_209
Abstract: Nerve transfer (neurotization) is a reconstructive procedure in which the distal denervated nerve is joined with a proximal healthy nerve of a less significant function. Neurotization models described to date are limited to avulsed roots… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00701-020-04433-3
Abstract: Background To recover biceps strength in patients with complete brachial plexus injuries, the intercostal nerve can be transferred to the musculocutaneous nerve. The surgical results are very controversial, and most of the studies with good… read more here.
