Abstract | OBJECTIVES: METHODS: RESULTS: The incidence rate of postoperative delayed healing was 27.3%, which was not correlated with gender, age or intraoperative vascular compression. However, it was correlated with disease course, severity of preoperative symptoms, arteriosclerosis and abnormal facial muscle response. The duration of delayed healing was positively correlated with preoperative disease course. CONCLUSIONS: Delayed healing is a common phenomenon after microvascular decompression for facial muscle spasm, with an elusive reason. Therefore, the treatment outcomes should be evaluated after one year of follow-up.
