Cover Story: Parotid cancer, regardless of the histological subtype, is a clinical condition that, when treated surgically, may have associated damage to the functionality of the facial nerve. Moreover, surgical resection leaves functional sequelae such as facial paralysis, paresis of some branches, and aesthetic defects affecting the quality of life. Radiotherapy (RT) has shown improvement in local control and survival rates; however, its impact on the complete recovery of facial motricity remains controversial. The present study aimed to evaluate the impact of a multimodal approach on facial nerve functionality in patients diagnosed with parotid carcinoma who underwent parotidectomy and facial nerve microsurgical reconstruction, with or without adjuvant RT.
