RESUMO
The lesions, infections, traumas, and new growths that affect the intratemporal portion of the facial nerve at all ages are examined and discussed. The facial nerve is shown to be extremely durable and capable of recovery. The management except in complete severence is conservative. Surgical intervention should be restricted in the early stages.

At present, there remains the controversial issue as to who should or should not have his tonsils removed. But whether or not a particular patient needs them removed, the historical development of tonsillectomy has rendered tonsillectomy a very precise operation. It is by no means a minor procedure and requires great skill and concentration to meet the altering circumstances that may occur during this procedure.
