Summary
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
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.
