Abstract: Great auricular nerve preservation is technically feasible during parotidectomy, with a decrease of the sensitivity alterations in the early postoperative period and avoidance of the permanent sequelae that occur when the nerve is sacrificed.

“…Other authors [6][7][8]13 have reported similar daily activity functional deficits with susceptibilities to injuries and burns; difficulties with telephone use, shaving, combing their hair, wearing earrings, and facial contact during intimacy; and discomfort wearing glasses. In this study, patients proportionately had the most problems with telephone use and wearing earrings and the least problems with shaving and combing their hair.…”

“…Studies 9 have reported that all patients who underwent preservation had no anesthesia by 6 months 8 or by 12 months. Some evidence showed that the group who had undergone sacrifice of the GAN achieved a sensory recovery plateau by 6 months postoperatively 8 and had dysfunction up to 2 years later. 10 Another study 9 showed that 90% of patients who had undergone sacrifice of the GAN still had anesthesia at a minimum of 8 years of follow-up.…”

“…Traditionally, the GAN is usually ignored and sacrificed with parotidectomy, resulting in long-term postoperative sensory loss and influencing the quality of life [17,18]. In order to prevent ear lobule numbness, many surgeons have advocated that preservation of the posterior branch of the GAN during surgery could reduce the incidence of numbness [7,8].…”

“…Caution was employed in an attempt to preserve the posterior branch of the greater auricular nerve, which is considered to be typically feasible during parotidectomy procedure therefore avoiding the patient permanent sequelae of altered sensation in the ear lobe and infra auricular region. 9 Stenson's duct was used as a landmark for the identification of the buccal branch. Retromandibular vein is used as landmark for the marginal mandibular branch, and the zygomatic arch for the identification of the zygomatic branch of the facial nerve.…”
