A Cadaver Study to Assess the Feasibility of a Cross-Nerve Transfer of the Infraorbital Nerve for Patients With Peripheral Infraorbital Nerve Injury

Conclusions The INB and SLB existed in all the specimens and could be found approximately 1 cm below the piriform aperture. The average distance between the INB and SLB was approximately 11 mm. These results imply the feasibility of a cross-nerve transfer of the distal part of the infraorbital nerve.
