ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the clinical value of muscle autograft denatured by microwave for repair of gap in removal of facial neuroma.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A case of patient with a larger facial nerve Schwann cell neuroma was reported. Based on the good results of our experimental research on rats recently, we completed the operation by transmastoid approach for removal of facial neuroma, and the gap of the nerve was repaired with muscle autograft denatured by microwave.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The patient was followed up for one year, and her facial function recovery on the affected side was satisfactory.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Muscle autograft denatured by microwave technique is convenient, highly efficient for repairing facial nerve gap after removal of facial neuroma.</p>
