Zusammenfassung

Patienten mit dauerhafter Fazialisparese ist ihr Stigma ständig anzusehen; entsprechend hoch ist der Leidensdruck der Patienten. Um mit chirurgischen Methoden eine zufriedenstellende Rekonstruktion der mimischen Funktion zu erreichen, ist Erfahrung mit einer Vielzahl von chirurgischen und adjuvanten konservativen Maßnahmen notwendig. Der vorliegende Beitrag stellt das Repertoire der derzeitigen operativen und konservativen Möglichkeiten mit ihren Indikationsbereichen, den Grenzen und Kombinationsmöglichkeiten vor.

Abstract

Patients with permanent facial palsies cannot hide their conditions. As a consequence, these patients suffer from massive psychological stress. To achieve satisfactory reconstruction of mimic function, experience with a variety of surgical techniques and adjuvant nonsurgical treatments is necessary. This report provides information on the present repertoire of surgical and conservative options, emphasizing their fields of indications, limitations, and possible combinations.
