The remarkable facial(Parotid) surgery that preserved the smile of an old patient
This marks the day following the successful parotidectomy surgery of an elderly female patient. Parotid surgery carries the inherent risk of potential damage to the facial nerve, which could lead to facial paralysis. However, I'm pleased to report that in this case, the patient has displayed positive progress post-surgery. She can move her forehead, lips, and smile normally, without any angle deviation, and maintains a normal sensation in her neck. These promising signs indicate a favorable outcome so far.
