Popis: The paper presents clinical results of using a new method of reconstruction of the lower alveolar nerve during mandible resection due to benign tumors for 10 patients aged 18 to 60 years. The aim of this work is to include in the concept of complete rehabilitation of the patient in the case of mandible resection the restoration of the sensitivity of the lower lip and the innervation zone of the lower alveolar nerve. A feature of the method is the use of the sural nerve as a donor and the lingual nerve as a recipient, if it is impossible to preserve the proximal end of the lower alveolar nerve. An algorithm for simultaneous nerve reconstruction was developed. The safety and effectiveness of this method were evaluated.
