Start incising anterior to the patient's pinna. Keeping close to it, proceed towards his mastoid and then continue in the angle between his pinna and his neck until you reach a skin crease, then cut along this for up to 10 cm. Raise a flap of skin and subcutaneous tissue, so as to expose his parotid gland. Make multiple incisions into this in line with the branches of his facial nerve. Explore each incision by Hilton's method and clean out each abscess cavity with gauze. Close the wound with continuous or interrupted sutures of 3/0 monofilament, leaving a dependent corrugated drain emerging from the inferior part of the incision.
