    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Head and Neck Surgery

    Background:

    • Parotidectomy is a surgical procedure to remove tumors from the parotid gland.
    • Benign parotid tumors are common, with pleomorphic adenoma being the most frequent type.
    • Recurrent tumors present unique surgical challenges.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report on a modified centripetal approach for parotidectomy.
    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of this technique in treating benign parotid tumors, including primary and recurrent cases.

    Main Methods:

    • A modified centripetal surgical approach was utilized for parotidectomy.
    • The study included a total of 422 patients with benign parotid tumors.
    • Procedures included superficial parotidectomy (178 cases) and total parotidectomy (244 cases).

    Main Results:

    • Pleomorphic adenoma was the predominant tumor type, accounting for 94.79% of cases.
    • No permanent facial paralysis was observed in patients undergoing parotidectomy for primary tumors.
    • Seven recurrences were noted in the group treated for recurrent tumors.

    Conclusions:

    • The modified centripetal approach to parotidectomy is a safe and effective technique for benign parotid tumors.
    • The method demonstrates excellent outcomes regarding facial nerve preservation in primary tumor cases.
    • It offers a viable surgical option for both primary and recurrent benign parotid gland neoplasms.
