Filter by:In this single-centre, cross-sectional case series, the investigators aim to evaluate the incidence of facial nerve injury in patients undergoing superficial parotidectomy in the absence of nerve conductor. Data to be collected retrospectively from a prospectively maintained database of consecutive patients, at the Department of Surgery, Liaquat University of Medical and Health Sciences Jamshoro, Pakistan. The sample size was calculated as 101.
Of all the bones in the maxillofacial area, the condylar process is the most susceptible to fracture. The incidence of condylar fracture accounts for 25% to 50% of all mandibular fractures. Though remained controversial for a long time, surgical treatment of displaced subcondylar fractures appears today as the gold standard. Although there is a developing preference for open reduction and internal fixation of mandibular condylar fractures, the optimal approach to the ramus condylar unit remains controversial. Various approaches have been proposed, and each has specific shortcomings and disadvantages. Retromandibular, submandibular, transoral, and through parotid approaches are generally performed and sometimes used with an endoscope. Limited access and injury to the facial nerve are the most common problems, while Wilson introduced a new through masseter anteroparotid approach, this technique offers excellent access to the ramus condylar unit, and facial nerve damage risk is reduced.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of three commercially available botulinum toxin neuromodulators in the treatment of facial synkinesis using patient reported outcome measures.
