Cost-Effectiveness of Free Tissue Transfer for Unilateral Facial Paralysis.
Key Points
This paper aims to assess the cost-effectiveness of free tissue transfer for treating unilateral facial paralysis.
Conducted a cost-effectiveness analysis comparing free tissue transfer to no intervention.
Evaluated success rates and risks associated with the surgery.
Analyzed financial implications of both treatments.
Free tissue transfer surgery is deemed cost-effective despite risks.
The surgery shows better overall outcomes compared to no treatment.
Abstract
Despite the imperfect success rate and risks involved, free tissue transfer surgery is a cost-effective treatment for facial paralysis as compared to no intervention.
