摘要: As oral and maxillofacial surgeons perform broad scope orofacial surgical procedures, most may expect to experience nerve injuries during their practice lifetime. Worldwide, the incidence of injury inferior alveolar (IAN) has been reported be from 0.26 8.4 %, whereas lingual (LN) deficits range 0.1 22 % [1–3]. Temporary or permanent sensory disturbances are not uncommon; however, lasting longer than 1 year more likely permanent, attempts at microneurosurgical repair often unsuccessful in these long-standing [4].
