“…Attention must be paid when dissecting the zygomatic branch inferior to the zygomatic arch, where it emerges from a deep fatty compartment, confounded by multiple secondary branches that arise from the zygomatic branch. 31 An average of four zygomatic secondary branches had to be cut to mobilize the zygomatic nerve enough so tension-free direct coaptation with the masseteric nerve could be achieved. No significant difference was detected in either axon count nor diameter of the pig masseteric and zygomatic branch at the overlapping point, highlighting their compatibility for a nerve transfer.…”
