Assiut doctors excise tumor, restore nerve
A medical team in the Ear, Nose, and Throat Department at Assiut University successfully removed a malignant tumor from the parotid gland of a 20-year-old young man and reconstructed the facial nerve. The surgical procedure lasted a total of 9 hours. The tumor was completely excised, with parts of the auditory canal and the main nerve root removed to ensure complete cancer removal. Then, a precise operation was performed to reconstruct and activate the nerve using conduction techniques with the masticatory nerve and branches of the greater auricular nerve. The patient was able to regain the ability to close his eye and smile within three months, reflecting the success of the operation and the specialized medical intervention.
