The attachments and arrangement of the parotid gland and its fascia were evaluated and histologically assessed, with special attention to the fascia overlying the facial nerve trunk.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The parotid fascia envelops the posterior aspect of the parotid gland in an open-book fashion. Posteriorly, it connects to the anterior and medial aspect of the mastoid tip. Posterosuperiorly, it attaches to the inferior aspect of the tragal pointer. Directly medial to the fascia lies the facial nerve trunk.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The parotid fascia, particularly the parotid\u2013mastoid segment overlying the facial nerve trunk, can be utilized as an additional landmark of depth to help identify the facial nerve trunk during a parotidectomy in conjunction with other commonly used standard anatomic landmarks. The parotid fascia sling spans from the mastoid and tragal pointer to the parotid gland and can be easily palpated intraoperatively. Once the fascia is removed, the facial nerve trunk is identified.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/0145561319877998","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,10,4]],"date-time":"2019-10-04T02:03:02Z","timestamp":1570154582000},"page":"504-508","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["The Role of the Parotid-Mastoid Fascia in Identification of the Facial Nerve Trunk During Parotidectomy"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"100","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2192-3050","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Steven B.","family":"Micucci","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Head and Neck Surgery\u2014Otolaryngology, Kaiser Permanente Medical Center, Oakland, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Siri Sunderi","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Contra Costa Health Services, Martinez Health Center, Martinez, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tara","family":"Song","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Head and Neck Surgery\u2014Otolaryngology, Kaiser Permanente Panorama City Medical Center, Panorama City, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Barry","family":"Rasgon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Head and Neck Surgery\u2014Otolaryngology, Kaiser Permanente Medical Center, Oakland, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,10,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0145561319877998","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1445-2197.1951.tb03766.x"},{"key":"bibr2-0145561319877998","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0022215100158761"},{"key":"bibr3-0145561319877998","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1288\/00005537-197004000-00004"},{"issue":"2","key":"bibr4-0145561319877998","first-page":"151","volume":"68","author":"Reid AP","year":"1989","journal-title":"Ear Nose Throat J"},{"key":"bibr5-0145561319877998","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0039-6109(16)32731-1"},{"key":"bibr6-0145561319877998","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0094-1298(20)31494-2"},{"key":"bibr7-0145561319877998","unstructured":"Janfaza F, Nadol JB, Galla RJ, Fabian RL, Montgomery WW.
