Extracted from The Facial Nerve, this targeted new book offers the most comprehensive approach to rehabilitating patients with acute and
long-standing facial paralysis. Representing more than 30 years experience of a doctor who has performed over 3,000 surgical procedures, it begins with a history of facial rehabilitative surgery, and then focuses on approaches that have proven to be successful over the years.
