Hemihypoglossal-facial nerve anastomosis is a safe procedure and it is an optimal solution for cases lacking a proximal stump or in the case of reconstruction in the second stage. Electromyography can predict initial reinnervation activity after reconstructive procedures. During subsequent follow-up it can help to discover insufficiently recovering patients, however clinical characteristics are crucial.
