“…Some surgeons suggest subtotal removal of recurrent tumor as it offers better functional preservation of facial nerve (15,21,37). However, gross total removal with successful preservation of facial nerve function in both previously resected and irradiated tumors has been described (6,11,13,14,16,19,20,23,25,28,39). In our series, total removal could be achieved in 10 patients (66.7%) of group A and in 3 patients (60.0%) of group B. Preservation of preoperative facial nerve function was achieved in 50.0% of patients of group A after total resection and in 66.7% of patients in group B.…”
