Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Parotidectomy, a surgery on the parotid gland, carries risks to the facial nerve.
  • Microscopic techniques offer potential advantages in visualizing delicate structures during surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate microscope parameter settings during parotidectomy.
  • To determine the impact of microscopic parotidectomy on facial nerve function.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective study of 28 patients undergoing microscopic parotidectomy.
  • Recording microscope settings (magnification, focal length, field diameter, clock position) and facial nerve function.
  • Utilizing a Leica F 20 M525 microscope for all procedures.

Main Results:

  • Specific microscope parameters were identified for different surgical stages.
  • Facial nerve paresis occurred in 8.3% of benign cases, resolving within 3 months.
  • Permanent facial palsy occurred in 50% of malignant cases due to necessary nerve sacrifice.

Conclusions:

  • Microscopic parotidectomy is beneficial for facial nerve dissection, lowering the incidence of facial paralysis.
  • Appropriate use of microscopic parameters ensures a seamless transition from open surgical approaches.
  • The microscope is a valuable tool for surgical training in parotidectomy.
