Measuring the Socially Perceived Value of Surgery for Facial Paralysis and Facial Synkinesis
Listen to this summary
The authors aimed to quantify the perceived societal value of surgical interventions for complete facial paralysis (CFP) and facial synkinesis by assessing willingness to pay (WTP) and quality of life indices among casual observers. Their findings indicated that both conditions significantly reduced quality-adjusted life years, with mean WTP values of $22,791 for CFP and $15,718 for synkinesis, suggesting that observers view surgical repair as highly valuable and cost-effective.
