What is Selective Neurolysis Surgery?
The neurectomy procedure, also known as selective neurectomy surgery, is a surgical procedure used to reduce or eliminate unwanted facial contractions in patients with partial or permanent facial paralysis. The excessive contractions that occur in this method are realized by precisely stimulating certain points of the nerves that control the facial muscles. In this way, patients' facial expressions become more natural and symmetrical and pain is alleviated. This procedure is mostly performed on patients diagnosed with mild or moderate facial paralysis.
What is Selective Neurectomy Surgery?
Although it is often confused with Selective Neurolysis surgery, they are different surgeries that serve the same purpose. This is a procedure that is generally performed when the nerve is damaged or abnormally stimulated. In this procedure, the diseased nerve is completely or partially removed and the problems that the patient is currently experiencing are eliminated. In this way, the person can get rid of the pain and spasms in the facial area within seconds. This surgical procedure is usually applied to patients who have been diagnosed with severe facial paralysis as a result of the examinations.
How is Selective Neurectomy Surgery Performed?
Contrary to popular belief, selective neurectomy surgery has a simple process. First, the nerves on the patient's face are analyzed in detail. As a result of these analyzes, the diseased nerve is identified and the diseased nerve cell is carefully and precisely stimulated and cut with special surgical instruments. Thus, excessive facial contractions are reduced and facial expressions become more natural. There may be a scar for a while after the procedure. There is no need to worry about this. With regular and proper wound care, you can get rid of postoperative scars in a short time.
Why Selective Neurectomy is Used to Treat Synkinesia?
To talk about synkinesia treatment in general, synkinesis occurs as a result of the facial nerves making the wrong connections during the recovery phase of facial paralysis. To correct this, selective neurolysis surgery is performed. In this surgery, the symptoms of synkinesis are alleviated or completely eliminated by reducing excessive and involuntary contractions of the facial muscles. In this way, the person can have a healthier and more confident social life.
Why is Selective Neurolysis Used in Bell's Palsy Treatment?
Bell's palsy is a congenital or acquired paralysis of the facial nerves. In the case of this nerve paralysis, the application of selective neurolysis treatment prevents overstimulation of the muscles in the area where the nerve is paralyzed or experiencing spasm. Thus, it reduces facial muscle weakness and helps normalize facial expression. At the same time, if selective neurolysis treatment is applied for bell palsy, the sensitive areas of the nerve can be focused more clearly and in detail. This leads to a complete cure of the disease.
Everything You Wondered About Selective Nerolysis and Selective Neurectomy
Does Selective Neurectomy or Selective Neurolysis Treatment Work?
Selective neurectomy and selective neurolysis surgery, which is a definitive and accurate solution for patients diagnosed with facial paralysis, is an effective procedure on patients. Because in both treatment procedures, diseased nerves are directly targeted. By reducing the pressure on these diseased nerves, involuntary facial contractions are stopped. However, in order for these treatments to provide a definitive solution, the nerves in the patient's facial area must be analyzed in detail. In this way, the degree of pressure on the nerves is accurately determined and the treatment procedure is determined accordingly. For example, if the facial nerve damage is minor, selective neurolysis would be more appropriate. However, if the facial nerve trauma is more severe, selective neurectomy surgery will be necessary.
How Do You Decide Which Nerves to Cut?
At this point, the patient's facial muscles and nerves are first examined in detail. Then, as a result of the examinations, it is determined which muscle and nerve endings on the patient's face have a problem and how big this problem is. In this way, the nerves to be cut are determined, the paralyzed nerve is carefully removed and the nerves are sutured from end to end with surgical sutures. In this way, the involuntary facial muscle contractions experienced by the patient are eliminated. You never need to worry at this point.

The Selective Neurectomy procedure also relieves the twitching in the patient's eye to a great extent. This is because twitching in the eye area is caused directly by paralyzed nerves.

- Relief of Undesirable Symptoms: In general, selective neurolysis surgery can improve patients' quality of life by relieving involuntary muscle movements and pain, which are among the most common unwanted symptoms.
- May Be Minimally Invasive:Some selective dorsal neurectomy procedures can be performed minimally invasively. This means less postoperative pain, faster recovery and less risk of complications.
- Long Lasting Impact: A neurectomy procedure usually involves permanently stopping nerve conduction by cutting or removing the nerve. Symptoms can thus be controlled on a long-term basis.
- Fast Results: With the potential to relieve pain or other symptoms, neurectomy procedures can provide quick and effective results in some patients.
