Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Facial palsy is common complication following superficial parotidectomy for benign parotid tumour. We have observed this complication in series of 25 cases. We found that 12 % patients developed temporary facial weakness which disappeared after one month of treatment. 4% patients developed permanent facial weakness which is little high in comparison to different series compared. This can be avoided by using nerve stimulator while dissecting by inexperienced surgeon. Keywords: Pleomorphic adenoma, superficial parotidectomy (SP), Facial Nerve.
