A Rare Case of Parotid Stone Adherence to the Facial Nerve.

This case report details a complex case of parotid gland sialolithiasis with stones adherent to the facial nerve, a scenario that presents a significant surgical challenge. Traditional sialendoscopy failed to address the condition in a 23-year-old female patient, leading to the adoption of a combined endoscopic transcutaneous approach. This method successfully resolved the condition without intraoperative complications, maintaining intact facial nerve function postoperatively. The case emphasizes the importance of individualized surgical strategy and expert technique in advanced parotid surgery, advocating this approach for similarly complex sialolithiasis cases.
