title: What is the best operative practice for small benign parotid pleomorphic adenoma?
abstract: Most surgeons will reduce the risk of recurrence and permanent facial nerve dysfunction with PSP for PPA with dissection and control of the facial nerve. High volume, very experienced parotid surgeons can offer ECD with the expectation of less transient facial nerve dysfunction, Frey's syndrome, and numbness. Long-term recurrence rates await further reports.
