Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Head and Neck Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Benign tumors of the deep lobe of the parotid gland present surgical challenges.
  • Existing parotidectomy techniques may lead to complications and suboptimal functional or esthetic outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate an improved surgical technique for selective deep-lobe parotidectomy in benign parotid tumors.
  • To assess the efficacy of superficial lobe preservation with methylene blue staining and intraoperative facial nerve detection.

Main Methods:

  • Fourteen patients with primary benign deep-lobe parotid tumors underwent selective parotidectomy between 2004 and 2015.
  • The technique involved superficial lobe preservation, methylene blue gland staining, and intraoperative facial nerve monitoring.

Main Results:

  • No tumor recurrences were observed during the follow-up period.
  • There were no instances of permanent facial nerve injury, postparotidectomy depression, or Frey's syndrome.
  • The procedure demonstrated a favorable safety profile.

Conclusions:

  • Selective deep-lobe parotidectomy is effective in treating benign parotid tumors.
  • This technique minimizes surgical complications, including facial nerve injury and Frey's syndrome.
  • The approach preserves parotid function and yields good esthetic results.
