In 1903 Ballance et al [1] first reported this operation, the distal facial nerve sutured to the side of the paralyzed facial paralysis. However, it was not until 1992 when Viterbo et al [2,3] published a series of experimental and clinical studies on end-to-end sutures that it was valued because of its good clinical application prospect
