The extratemporal portion of the facial nerve is often severed by various forms of surgical and non-surgical trauma. A commonly accepted method of repair is with monofilament nylon suture, using microsurgical techniques to approximate the epineurium. A study was designed to compare the clinical and histologic success of repair using microfibrillar collagen hemostat (Avitene) with that of suture repair of the epineurium. Although the success rates of these two methods of repair of peripheral facial nerves in rabbits appear to be functionally equivalent, the histologic results show the suture repair to be superior.
面神经的颞外部分常因各种手术和非手术创伤而离断。一种普遍接受的修复方法是使用单丝尼龙缝线，采用显微外科技术使神经外膜对合。一项研究旨在比较使用微纤维胶原止血剂（Avitene）修复与神经外膜缝线修复的临床和组织学成功率。虽然这两种修复兔周围面神经方法的成功率在功能上似乎相当，但组织学结果显示缝线修复更优。
