Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To observe the incidence of facial nerve injury and its relationship to the types of operation. METHODS The clinical data of 116 patients who underwent parotid surgery from 1999 to 2006 were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS The facial injury rate in total parotidectomy(66.7 %) was significantly higher than that in superfacial parotidectomy(39.2 %) and partial parotidectomy(12.5 %). The facial nerve injury rate in the mandibular branch(31.9 %) was higher than that in the buccal branch(9.2 %) and the zygomaticofacial branch(2.9 %). CONCLUSION The injury of facial nerve branches was correlated with the surgical managements. A proper surgical managements and operative extent would reduce the incidence of facial nerve injury and decrease the complications of the operation.
