Summary
This study tests a wireless patch that sticks to the face to monitor facial nerves during surgery, aiming to prevent nerve damage. It will be used alongside standard needle-based monitoring in 20 adults having parotid or facial surgery. Researchers will compare how well the patch detects nerve signals and check for skin reactions.
