Encouraged by the success of outpatient thyroid surgery, we have performed outpatient parotidectomy in more than 56 selected patients during the past 5 years. As a result of the success of the procedure and the enthusiastic patient response, the proportion of parotid operations performed on an inpatient basis has declined in the latter part of the ...

Parotidectomy—Anatomical considerations

Clinical Anatomy, 2011
AbstractThe parotid glands are paired major salivary glands and are located in the preauricular region. Parotidectomy is a surgical procedure that entails removal of all or a portion of the parotid gland. The most common indications for this operative procedure are a neoplasm of the parotid gland or metastases to parotid lymph nodes.

Functional superficial parotidectomy

Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 1994
To clinically test a new type of parotid surgery termed functional superficial parotidectomy (FSP) to preserve the function of the residual gland.Sixteen human parotid specimens were dissected, and 19 patients underwent FSP.It was shown that 91.4% of the main parotid ducts were found deep to the surface of the facial nerve.

Cosmetic Approaches to Parotidectomy

Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 2021
The parotid gland is located in a cosmetically sensitive area. Given cultural emphasis on cosmesis, using minimally invasive or hidden incisions, when appropriate, can significantly improve patient satisfaction and quality of life following surgery. Facelift-style incisions have been used since the late 1960s to approach parotid pathology.

Traumatic Partial Parotidectomy

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1984
A 16-year-old boy was assaulted with a broken bottle, which inflicted a deep right-sided cervicofacial injury. Exploration, however, revealed a split parotid gland along its plane of cleavage preserving the facial nerve and major cervical blood vessels with a unique traumatic dissection simulating surgical suprafacial parotidectomy.

Parotidectomy: surgery in evolution

ANZ Journal of Surgery, 2015
AbstractBackgroundApproximately 15 years ago, Bron and O'Brien described a large Australian series of 248 patients focusing on facial nerve function post parotidectomy performed by a single surgeon over an 8‐year period. The primary aim of this study was to assess changes in pathology, surgical approach and outcomes following parotidectomy in a ...

Parotidectomy

2019
Parotidectomy is a surgical procedure performed for a variety of neoplastic, inflammatory, and infectious reasons. The key in parotid surgery is identifying and preserving the main trunk and branches of the facial nerve. While the pattern and course of the distal nerve branches can be quite variable, recognizing the landmarks used to identify the main ...
