[Mobilization of the facial nerve in surgical interventions in the parotid-maxillary area (the topographic anatomical validation)]. / Mobilizatsiia litsevogo nerva pri khirurgicheskikh vmeshatel'stvakh v okoloushno-zhevatel'noi oblasti (topografo-anatomicheskoe obosnovanie).

A method for facial nerve mobilization is suggested, developed on cranial preparations of adult subjects. The authors have distinguished characteristic topographic and anatomic regularities that are essential in surgery of the mastoid process and parotid-masticatory area for tumor or nontumorous involvement of the parotid gland in case of the facial nerve involvement in the process.

In order to ensure an adequate approach to the pharyngeal process of the parotid gland, we investigated interactions between anatomical structures of the face, jaws and neck, on the one hand, and deeply located compartments of the parotid salivary gland, on the other. We tested variants of intra- and extra-oral approach to puncture biopsy of the above compartments of the parotid salivary gland. We examined clinical and anatomical parallels of otorhinolaryngological symptoms in the case of tumor lesions of the gland.
