Postoperative efficacy analysis of patients with facial nerve palsy associated with cholesteatoma otitis media: Our experience with 32 patients

Abstract

Patients who underwent surgery within 4 weeks after facial palsy had better outcomes than those who had surgery later.

The results of partial and near-complete decompression were good, with no difference between the two methods.

Even if the symptom duration of facial paralysis was > 4 weeks, surgery still had an impact.

Unlike in surgery for facial paralysis due to other causes, the integrity of the sheath membrane should be preserved.

There is a lag in the electroneurography test results.
