Objectives To evaluate the necessity of preserving the posterior branch of the great auricular nerve during parotidectomy. Study Design and Setting Forty-six patients undergoing parotidectomy were prospectively analyzed. Twenty-four patients had preservation of the posterior branch of the great auricular nerve; in the remaining 22 patients the nerve was sacrificed. A sensory index score was defined as the area involved multiplied by the intensity grade of sensory loss. Quality-of-life was evaluated with a questionnaire. Results The sensory index score was significantly higher in the sacrificed group as compared with the preserved group at both 1 week (41.87 vs 62.11) and 1 month (24.91 vs 46.11) after parotidectomy. The sensory deficit improved over time in both groups, and after 12 months only minimal sensory loss remained. Quality-of-life was not significantly different between the groups. Conclusions Irrespective of preservation of the posterior branch of the great auricular nerve, sensory deficit improved over time. Therefore, preservation of the posterior branch of the great auricular nerve might not be necessary during parotidectomy.

AbstractThe great auricular nerve is often sacrificed in superficial parotidectomy, even though its posterior branch often can be preserved. By cautious dissection of the great auricular nerve it is possible to preserve the posterior branch in 70.5 per cent of the operations.Ninety-five patients who had undergone superficial parotidectomy were included. A significantly higher number of patients had subjective sequelae if the posterior branch of the nerve had been cut, compared to the patients with a preserved nerve. A significantly higher rate of sensory morbidity was found if the nerve had been cut. In patients with a preserved posterior branch of the great auricular nerve there was no increase in other potential sequelae after parotidectomy.Therefore, this additional dissection should be considered, where appropriate, in routine parotid surgery.

Diplopodia, being a rare congenital disorder, is infrequently discussed in published texts. Most reported cases have accounted the involvement of duplicated preaxial digits with other associated organ system and physical deformities. Here, we present an unusual case of isolated diplopodia involving postaxial toes in a child with no other organ and physical abnormalities. Radiological studies revealed a set of 10-digit-duplicated foot over the lateral aspect of the native foot, complete with phalanges and its corresponding metatarsals as well as tarsals, supplied by an anomalous posterior branch of the popliteal artery. Definitive surgery was performed just before the child was learning to walk.
