Brief Summary:
The goal of this research study is to measure changes in patients' quality of life after surgeries that affect the facial nerve, including nerve transfer as treatment for facial paralysis.
Detailed Description:
Primary Objective:
To evaluate the impact of facial nerve transfer techniques (FNTT) on QoL in head and neck cancer patients with facial paralysis. This study intends to measure the impact of FNTT on QoL utilizing a series of validated questionnaires which include: (i) Facial Clinimetric Evaluation Scale and Facial Disability Index; (ii) Sunnybrook Facial Grading System; and (iii) Facial Nerve Grading Scale 2.0. These instruments will be administered at baseline, after surgery, and at 6, 12, and 18 months post-operatively.
Secondary Objective:
To compare patient-reported outcomes and facial function scales for patients who undergo facial nerve transfer technique with a historical cohort of patients who did not undergo any dynamic nerve reconstruction procedures. The same assessment tools described in primary objective above will be utilized.
