Abstract:
This article provides a review of soft tissue reconstructive options for the parotidectomy defect, including skin incision, primary closure, acellular dermis, autologous fat transfer, local and regional flaps, and free tissue transfer. The authors discuss considerations for volume enhancement, skin coverage, prevention of Frey syndrome, tumor surveillance, and potential complications.
