A member asked:
If i have a partial glossectomy of the tongue, will it be possible to regenerate the nerves?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What's gone is gone: The part of the tongue that remains still has all of its nerve supply; the part that is removed is gone, and the nerves that supplied that part as well.
