New OHNI Case Files episode coming soon!

Two years ago, Dr. Osborne performed surgery to remove a 9-pound tumor that had been growing on the side of Tim’s face. Recently, Dr. Osborne traveled to Arizona to visit Tim at his home and see how he’s been doing two years after his surgery. At the heart of our practice is the belief that medicine is about more than treating a condition. It’s about getting to know the person behind it and being part of their journey through treatment and beyond.

Young 29 year old Pany reaches out to Dr. Ryan F. Osborne, specialist in parotid gland tumors and facial nerve preservation, after finding a small lump behind her ear. Diagnosed with a deep lobe parotid tumor, she travels from the United Kingdom to Los Angeles for complex parotidectomy surgery.

Deep lobe parotid tumors are significantly more challenging to remove than superficial parotid tumors because they are located deeper within the parotid gland and close to the facial nerve and other critical structures.

A new era of nerve preservation in surgery is here.

Dr. Ryan F. Osborne recently had the opportunity to incorporate the Dendrite Imaging System during surgery, an innovative technology that allows surgeons to visualize nerves in real time using their natural autofluorescence—without dyes or direct contact.

Dr. Osborne was honored to be the first surgeon in the United States to use the technology in a live surgery.

Traditionally, identifying nerves has relied on anatomy, experience, and standard operating room lighting. Dendrite adds another layer of confidence by making both motor and sensory nerves visible during surgery, helping surgeons better distinguish delicate neural structures from the surrounding tissue.
When it comes to head and neck surgery, precision matters. Protecting the facial nerve and other critical nerves is essential, and we're always looking for ways to make surgery even safer and more precise.
At Osborne Head & Neck Institute, we carefully evaluate new technologies that can enhance patient care because the best outcomes come from combining surgical expertise with the right tools.
