Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The use of free Neurovascularized muscles like free latissimus and gracillis muscles for reanimation of long-standing facial palsy patients using the hypoglossal nerve for innervating these muscles

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The investigators need to know which of the two muscles is better functionally and aesthetically in facial reanimation of patients with facial paralysis of more than one year duration.
