    Summary

    Penetrating injuries to the parotid region risk facial nerve, parotid duct, and ear canal damage. Prompt evaluation and repair in the emergency department are crucial for optimal functional outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Plastic Surgery
    • Emergency Medicine

    Background:

    • The parotid region is vulnerable to penetrating trauma.
    • Injuries can affect critical structures including the facial nerve, parotid duct, and external ear canal.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the immediate management of penetrating injuries to the parotid region.
    • To emphasize the importance of preserving facial nerve function, parotid duct patency, and external ear canal integrity.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical assessment of facial nerve branches in the emergency department.
    • Electronic stimulation for assessing distal facial nerve viability.
    • Probing and repair of parotid duct lacerations.
    • Surgical repair and stenting of the external ear canal.

    Main Results:

    • Early identification and repair of facial nerve injuries allow for timely intervention.
    • Parotid duct injuries can be successfully managed with probing and repair.
    • External ear canal repair and stenting effectively prevent post-injury stenosis.

    Conclusions:

    • Prompt and thorough management of penetrating parotid injuries is essential.
    • A systematic approach ensures the preservation of facial nerve function and anatomical structures.
    • Preventing complications like facial nerve paralysis and ear canal stenosis is achievable with appropriate surgical techniques.
