Cross-face nerve grafting (CFNG) allows for spontaneous, involuntary facial movement for patients with irreversible hemifacial paralysis. This technique uses an intact contralateral facial nucleus and nerve as an input and axon source, allowing donor neural input to be routed through a nerve graft across the face. The sural nerve is well equipped for use as a nerve graft due to its length and minimal donor site morbidity. Endoscopic nerve harvest techniques allow for efficient, minimally invasive dissection that improves the integrity of the harvested nerve.
