Özet

Purpose: Localization of the facial nerve trunk may be required during various surgical interventions such as parotidectomy. In these surgical applications, various and reliable landmarks are used to determine the localization of the facial nerve trunk. This anatomical cadaver study aims to evaluate the anatomical relationship between the facial nerve trunk, tragal pointer and mastoid tip.
