Abstract
There are substantial variations in measurements from anatomic landmarks to the main trunk of the facial nerve in the literature. Therefore, multiple landmarks can be used to identify the main trunk of the facial nerve during parotid surgery. The distances reported in this study can guide surgeons during parotid surgery to decrease the risk of facial nerve damage.
