Retrograde parotidectomy and facial nerve outcomes: A case series of 44 patients (Letter to Editor)

I read with interest about the nicely written article entitled "Retrograde Parotidectomy and Facial Nerve Outcomes: A case Series of 44 Patients" by Kligerman et al. [1]. I would like to congratulate the authors on their good results of retrograde parotidectomy. They demonstrated that the complications after retrograde parotidectomy, especially of facial nerve injury, are not inferior to the counterpart of antegrade parotidectomy. In addition, the former approach could achieve a low wound complication rate of 6.8% and facilitate outpatient surgery.
