Indications for Facial Nerve Monitoring During Parotidectomy

xlomafota13 shared this article with you from Inoreader
Facial nerve injury is the most feared complication during parotid surgery. Intraoperative electromyographic nerve monitoring can be used to identify the facial nerve, map its course, identify surgical maneuvers detrimental to the nerve, and provide prognostic information. Data regarding outcomes with facial nerve monitoring are heterogeneous. In contrast, the incidence of permanent weakness has not been shown to be significantly affected by use of nerve monitoring. For revision surgery, studies show that monitored patients had (1) weakness that was less severe with quicker recovery and (2) shorter operative times compared with unmonitored patients.
