[Aspects to the malignoma of the parotid gland and extratemporal facial nerve surgery (author's transl)].

Malignomas of the great salivary glands are--after own examinations--localized to ca. 90% in the parotid gland and ca. 10% in the sublingual gland. The frequency of different malignomas of the parotid gland, their age and sex incidence, pareses of the facial nerve before therapy, methods of therapy, relapses, letality and survival time are discussed. On own cases the method of extra-temporal reconstructive plastic surgery of the facial nerve is demonstrated.
