Since in our experience facial paralysis has been a common sequela following the removal of malignant tumors of the parotid, we present herewith a description of our technic in removing the malignant parotid gland with the preservation of the facial nerve.

However, we believe that there is need for a surgical procedure which will permit the complete removal of the parotid gland when these tumors have broken through their capsules into the parotid tissue. It must also be borne in mind that this radical operation should be performed if there is any doubt concerning metastasis from the encapsulated tumor into the parotid gland. Surgical measures should be instituted before the metastasis becomes so extensive as to break down |
