The damage of facial nerve during ear and parotid surgery is an undesirable situation for both the surgeon and the patient. Although the incidence of facial nerve damage in this type of surgery is not precisely known, it is a fact that the surgical operations in this area are risky because of the possibility of facial nerve damage. Use of probes for facial nerve monitoring could extend the operation time, and difficulties arising from their usage could be connected to a drill or another surgical instrument instead of a probe, which enabled the surgery and facial nerve monitoring at the same time, was used in the surgery of ear and parotid. Apart from the ease of usage, this adapter also shortened the operation period and, thus, provided a safer working ambient. |
