- Abstract
The article presents a case study of a 62-year-old female who suffer from partial peripheral nerve paralysis following laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia. The clinical features reveal the involvement of mental nerve and some fibres of the patient's buccal branch. The article suggests the need to avoid vigorous jaw thrust to prevent the injury.
