Popis: Introduction. Facial nerve paralysis disconnects person»s emotions and expression, causes lagophthalmos, disorders of taste, touch, salivation, and lymph efflux in the damaged area. Among causes of consistent facial nerve conduction defects, the most common is iatrogenic injury during extensive surgical interventions for removal of tumors of the parotid gland. Various surgery interventions are used for correction of such disorders. The article objective is to present results of performed static plastic surgeries using polypropylene thread in patients with facial nerve damage caused by radical parotidectomy.Materials and methods. From 2014 to 2016 in the Department of Microsurgery of the P.A. Hertzen Moscow Oncology Research Institute – branch of the National Medical Research Radiological Center, 14 patients underwent static correction using polypropylene thread to treat iatrogenic injury of the facial nerve after radical surgery for malignant and benign tumors.Results. In all patients, optimal results of repair of the esthetic component of the facial nerve were achieved. Postoperative period didn»t exceed 3 days. Effect duration is longer than 3 years.Conclusions. Use of polypropylene thread in static plastic surgery allows to perform cosmetic facial correction, eliminate gravitational ptosis and lymphostasis in patients with consistent syndrome of complete damage of facial nerve conductance.
