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.
