Introductıon: Traumatic facial nerve injuries present a unique challenge to clinicians and surgeons because of the intricate facial nerve anatomy and profound impact on the psychological well-being and social interactions of patients.In this study, we aimed to shed light on the multifaceted nature of non-iatrogenic traumatic facial nerve injuries through an in-depth analysis of 12 distinctive cases.Methods: Between March 2019 and June 2022, at Ankara City Hospital and Akdeniz University Hospital, we conducted a retrospective analysis of 12 patients who presented with traumatic facial nerve injuries without surgery-related complications.To better understand the particularities of traumatic injuries to the facial nerve outside the context of surgical interventions, all cases selected for this study were of nonsurgical origin.Results: Twelve patients (eight males and four females) were included in the study.The average age of the patients was 29 years (range, 5-53 years).The causes of injury varied from dog bites in one patient, work-related injuries with a jigsaw in one patient, traffic accidents in two patients, sharp penetrating injuries in four patients, and temporal bone trauma in four patients.Five patients underwent a direct nerve repair.Three patients had nerve grafting.Three patients underwent reconstruction using a free functional gracilis flap.One patient underwent masseter nerve transfer.Considering the diverse treatment modalities applied and the subsequent outcomes observed, an algorithm was formulated.Conclusion: By sharing these experiences, we aspire to contribute a nuanced perspective to the existing body of knowledge on traumatic facial nerve injuries, further supporting clinical decision-making in such rare and challenging scenarios.
