Abstract
Objective:
To describe the key technical points for preserving the great auricular nerve during parotidectomy for tumor, and to discuss the literature regarding the benefits, limitations and indications for nerve-sparing surgery. Data suggested that great auricular nerve preservation should be discussed in the preoperative consultation, attempted intraoperatively and mentioned in the operative report once parotidectomy completed.
