title: Superficial parotidectomy under local anaesthesia.
abstract: The modern tendency of surgery is to perform a constantly rising number of operations under local anaesthesia. Superficial parotidectomy under local anaesthesia has not been widely attempted. However only few reports show that this kind of procedure could be feasible. If this is the case, standard assessment of benign parotid tumors will change radically.
