Brief Summary: A research study to find out if brief intraoperative electrical stimulation therapy improves nerve regeneration and smile outcomes following two-stage cross face nerve graft facial reanimation surgery
Detailed Description: Participants that choose to enroll in this study will be randomly assigned in a 21 ratio to a treatment or control group In either group patients will receive the same care as they normally would except for two minor differences First patients in both groups undergo nerve biopsies during surgery these biopsies do not affect the length or outcome of surgery Second the treatment group will receive brief electrical stimulation therapy for approximately 10 minutes during the first stage cross-face nerve graft surgery

The purpose of this study is to evaluate efficacy of an intraoperative dose of brief electrical stimulation BES to improve axonal regeneration across a cross-face nerve graft CFNG using nerve histology and to evaluate clinical outcomes of treatment and control groups using clinician graded patient reported and objective smile metric
