Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To study the incidence of facial nerve palsy post operatively in patients undergoing surgical treatment of benign parotid tumors METHOD: This was a prospective, randomized interventional study wherein 36 patients with benign parotid tumors were included and randomized into two groups: Superficial Parotidectomy and Extracapsular Excision. Post operatively, the facial nerve function was assessed by the House-Brackmann Score on post operative days 2, 7 and 10 and compared between the two groups. RESULTS: Post operatively, there was no significant difference between the two operations with regard to facial nerve palsy.
