Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the use and effect of facial nerve monitoring in parotid gland surgery. METHOD: Twenty-two patients with benign parotid tumor who received parotidectomy with continuous monitoring of the facial nerve were selected to analyse. RESULT: Each patient had a total resection of tumor without facial nerve paresis or sialocele formation. No recurrence was found during follow-up. CONCLUSION: Facial nerve monitoring is a useful tool in parotid gland surgery.
