Three patients were studied who had fistulae in the neck derived from the first branchial cleft. Evidence is presented to show that although these fistulae usually pass superficial to the facial nerve they may also pass deep to one or both main divisions of the nerve. We conclude that a formal superficial conservative parotidectomy with full exposure of the facial nerve is the safest operative course when excising these fistulae.
对3例患有源自第一鳃裂的颈部瘘管的患者进行了研究。有证据表明，尽管这些瘘管通常走行于面神经浅面，但它们也可能走行于面神经一个或两个主要分支的深面。我们得出结论，在切除这些瘘管时，行正式的浅表保守性腮腺切除术并充分暴露面神经是最安全的手术方式。
