Abstract
The ophthalmic complications associated with facial nerve palsy presen t a challenging problem to the treating ophthalmologist. Over the last hundred years, a wide variety of techniques have been used to rehabil itate patients with facial nerve palsy. Each of these techniques is as sociated with unique complications. We describe a significantly modifi ed surgical technique for the rehabilitation of patients with facial n erve palsy that has not, to our knowledge, previously appeared in the literature.
