Objective: To study the anatomy of the facial nerve at second genu. Materials and Methods: The present study was carried out in the dept. of ENT, GMC, Jammu, where in 30 wet human cadaveric temporal bones were dissected and the facial nerve at second genu was studied in terms of depth, relation and distance from important bony Observations and results: The depth of the facial nerve at second genu was 20.16 mm ± 1.391 mm with no dehiscence recorded in any of the specimens.
