OBJECTIVE: To introduce the application of venous nerve conduit in the immediate repair and reconstruction of facial nerve in parotid gland tumor. METHODS: Three patients with parotid gland tumor in Sichuan Provincial Cancer Hospital were reviewed. All patients were found that the tumor encased and invaded the facial nerve which was difficult to be separated during the operation when all patients were treated with facial nerve repair and reconstruction with the venous nerve conduit trapping technique. RESULTS: After 1-year follow-up, all patients recovered well in facial nerve function. CONCLUSION: The venous nerve conduit trapping technique is an effective attempt in the immediate repair and reconstruction of facial nerve in parotid gland tumor, but it needs to be further confirmed by multiple studies.
