 In the preoperative evaluation of benign tumors of the parotid gland, it is important to distinguish between tumors of the deep lobe and those of the lateral lobe. Since surgery for tumors of the deep lobe is sometimes much more complicated than that of the lateral lobe, the incidence of postoperative facial palsy is rather higher after surgery for tumors of the deep lobe. By a retrospective analysis of our experience of 21 cases, we tried to assess the frequency of facial palsy after parotidectomy in patients with benign tumor arising from the deep lobe.

 The incidence of postoperative facial palsy for the tumors of the deep lobe was significantly higher(33%)than that of lateral lobe. However, the facial palsy was transient in 6 out of 7 cases and there was recovery within 6 months.
