<strong>Abstract</strong> Facial nerve injuries with various causes, such as after trauma, tumor dissection, radiotherapy, etc., resulting the patient's functional, aesthetic, and psychological sequelae. For many decades, plastic surgeons have introduced numerous different nerve sources to overcome the above sequelae, such as contralateral facial nerve, the hypoglosal nerve, the masseter nerve, and the spinal accessory nerve (CN XI). There were various advantages and disadvantages of donor nerves sources. However, the use of ipsilateral donor nerve is said to have many benefits. In this report, we would like to present preliminary results of using the CN XI source in treatment of subacute and chronic VII nerve injury. These were the first two cases of successful surgery using this nerve source in Vietnam. <em>Keywords:</em> Facial nerve injury, facial paralysis, nerve transfer, spinal accessory nerve. <strong>Reference</strong> <ol> <li>Rubin LR.

Từ nhiều thập kỷ nay, các phẫu thuật viên vi phẫu tạo hình đã đưa ra nhiều nguồn thần kinh cho khác nhau nhằm khắc phục các di chứng trên như thần kinh VII đối bên, thần kinh XII, thần kinh cơ cắn, thần kinh XI. Các nguồn thần kinh cho đều có những ưu, nhược điểm khác nhau, tuy nhiên, việc sử dụng các nguồn thần kinh cùng bên được cho là có nhiều ưu điểm. Trong báo cáo này, chúng tôi muốn đưa ra kết quả bước đầu việc sử dụng nguồn thần kinh XI cùng bên điều trị tổn thương thần kinh VII bán cấp và mạn tính. Đây là 02 trường hợp thành công đầu tiên tại Việt Nam sử dụng nguồn thần kinh này. <em>Từ khóa:</em> Tổn thương thần kinh VII, liệt mặt, chuyển thần kinh, thần kinh XI <strong>Tài liệu tham khảo</strong> <ol> <li>Rubin LR.
