Parotid gland  tumors are common , especially benign tumors. These tumors occur in superficial lobe,so superficial parotidectomy is treatment of choice. Facial nerve divides parotid gland into superficial and deep lobes.Superficial parotidectomy means dissection of facial nerve from superficial lobe. Superficial lobe is lifted of facial nerve and  it carries risk of facial palsy.
