In MC Erebouni Professor Akira Ishiyama carried out an innovative surgery. In Artsakh, Robert Antonyan received a gunshot wound, as a result of which the facial nerve was damaged. It was necessary to perform the surgery within a short time, otherwise it would be impossible to restore the facial nerve. In Armenia, however, no such surgery was performed. During the surgery, was transected hypoglossal nerve and then the facial nerve, which is then connected to each other.
