Abstrakt: Selective distal facial nerve neurectomy was performed on seven orbicularis oculi muscles in four patients. Five operations were successful and two succeeded following a completion neurectomy. Our operation combines the approach for an Aufricht rhytidectomy and the selective denervation of the orbicularis oculi muscle only, and bypasses the parotid gland completely. There have been no major complications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
