Five patients with bilateral chronic recurrent parotiditis and ten patients with unilateral persistent paratoid gland fistulas underwent tympanic neurectomies. Two biopsy specimens from the diseased gland were examined. The first biopsy specimen was taken at the time of operation, while the second one was taken six months later. All specimens were subjected to both histopathologic and histochemical investigations. Definite degenerative and atrophic changes occured in all parotid gland specimens taken six months after selective tympanic neurectomy. All patients were completely cured at about that time. This supported the practical indication of the selective tympanic neurectomy for treating certain benign disorders or diseases of the parotid gland that require persistent arrest of the function of its secretory units.
5例双侧慢性复发性腮腺炎患者和10例单侧持续性腮腺瘘患者接受了鼓室神经切除术。对取自患病腺体的两份活检标本进行了检查。第一份活检标本在手术时采集，第二份在六个月后采集。所有标本均进行了组织病理学和组织化学研究。选择性鼓室神经切除术后六个月采集的所有腮腺标本均出现了明确的退行性和萎缩性改变。大约在那个时候，所有患者均完全治愈。这支持了选择性鼓室神经切除术在治疗某些需要持续抑制腮腺分泌单位功能的良性腮腺疾病中的实际应用指征。
