Abstract
Thompson’s free muscle grafts were performed on 8 patients with unilateral facial palsy, and their results were assessed regarding the effects on closure of the eyelids and elevation of the drooped corner of the mouth.
Some cases presented here were already reported in The Japanese J. Plast. and Reconstr. Surg. 20, 554–562 (1977).
