Abstract
Background: Loss of facial nerve function, always follows facial nerve damage is called facial palsy. Since communicating emotions or intentions becomes difficult, this complicated condition hinders social connections. Thus, facial nerve repair requires a customized meticloulus techniques.
Objective: Meta-analysis study to evaluate masseteric nerve transmission role in reanimation of the face.
Methodology: This is Meta-analysis study for Literature that was implemented from January 2012 to 28th of Aug 2022, with the aid of these databases: Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science (ISI). We searched carfully all the included references of appropriate reviews in addition to the original articles for significant studies. Relevant researches were exported to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. To identify which articles are relevant for us we screened the abstract, title, and full-text.
Results: The included patients' ages ranged from 32.5 to 61.7 on average. The main causes of facial nerve palsy were cerebellopontine angle tumors. There was a statistically significant better mean facial grading among patients treated with master transfer, contrasted with the control group, Between the two groups, there was no statistically significant variation in mean synkinesis score..
Conclusion: The paralyzed midface and perioral area can be revived using the Masseteric Nerve Transfer technique. With minimal surgical morbidity, the transfer of the masseteric nerve can produce satisfactory symmetry as well as perception.
