Patient's question:
In April 2010, I underwent surgery for a "right acoustic neuroma" at the First Hospital of Jilin University. After the treatment, I have 20% hearing in my right ear, drooping of the right corner of my mouth, left eye amblyopia, and right eye pain with closed eyelids not fitting. My nose is slightly crooked, and the philtrum is slightly tilted. Can you treat facial paralysis using nerve connection?Doctor's answer:
The patient reported that after the right auditory nerve surgery, right facial paralysis and vision loss reappeared. They are now seeking a good solution. First, it is not advisable to repair the nerve cells, as the goal is not just to restore, so using nerve grafting may not achieve the desired recovery effect. However, it is not entirely impossible. The patient can consult a hospital for advice. In addition to treatment, it is important to maintain a positive mood in daily life, as a good mood is very helpful for recovery.
