P223 Analysis of abductor pollicis brevis and orbicularis oris muscles representation of full face transplantation patients using TMS

Facial transplantation is defined as transfer of facial tissue from a donor to a patient who has suffered facial loss as a result of total denervation. Loss of facial tissue in the patient's transplant history is important for synaptic change. Our study aims to develop neurophysiological approaches by defining the change of motor representations in the brain.In this study, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is used to create Orbicularis Oris (O.Oris) and Abductor Pollicis Brevis (APB) muscles representation maps in facial transplant cases.
