[Complex physiotherapy for the rehabilitation of patients with postoperative facial muscles paresis].

THE AIM OF THE STUDY
Was the increasing the effectiveness of treatment and prevention of postoperative complications in the patients with benign tumors of the parotid salivary gland through the combined use of medications, acupuncture, hirudotherapy and a complex of physiotherapy.


MATERIALS AND METHODS
The study comprised 94 patients with postoperative complications after surgical treatment of benign tumors of the parotid salivary gland. All patients suffering from paresis of facial muscles were prescribed a physiotherapy complex developed during the study consisting of two series of exercises with alternating execution of the series every other day. The exercises begin with the upper third of the face, gradually descending to the lower third. A series of exercises is performed every hour and a half, the session duration is twenty minutes, the course is 14 days. The exercises are performed by the patient in front of the mirror, gently and at a slow pace.


RESULTS
The duration of the recovery period of motor function of the facial muscles on the affected side was 31.2±19.6 days, with the amplitude of the M-response 1.45±0.28 mV, the duration of the M-response 8.04±0.27 ms and the latent time during EMG 3.18±0.86 ms. Conclusion. The combined treatment, which included surgical and conservative treatment complex with methods of acupuncture, hirudotherapy and physiotherapy, was significantly more effective (p<0.05) in terms of the severity of paresis of facial muscles than in the control group.
