Parotid Tumors: Scarless Mini – Incision Parotidectomy
The parotid gland is one of the major salivary glands (a gland that produces saliva) located behind the jaw (below the ear lobule). The facial nerve (a nerve that supplies the face) traverses between the superficial and deep parts of the parotid gland. Therefore, the conditions that affect the parotid gland can cause weakness of the facial nerve due to the proximity of the nerve to this gland.
