Is there a difference in postoperative sensory recovery rates and quality of life? Via The British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery This study aimed to compare sensory recovery rates and quality of life (QoL) in patients who had undergone superficial parotidectomy and had their GAN preserved or sacrificed. Fifty patients were prospectively analysed, 28 with the GAN preserved, and 22 with it sacrificed. The primary outcomes were tactile sensitivity and QoL. The secondary outcomes were operating times and other complications. (Source: The British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery) View on the web Inoreader. Take back control of your news feed.
