Parotidectomy

  • 60 – 100 cases per year
  • Variety of neoplasms and

anatomic variations

  • Minimal morbidity overall
  • Recurrent neoplasms –

challenging cases

  • Personal experience > 32 years

Parotid Surgery - Challenges

  • Patient expectations
  • Variety of tumors

encountered

  • Relationship and size
  • f the tumor to the

nerve

  • Extend the operation

as needed

  • Role of pathology

4

Parotidectomy

  • Surgical options:
  • Superficial parotidectomy
  • Partial parotidectomy
  • Deep lobe parotidectomy
  • Total parotidectomy
  • Extended parotidectomy

Surgical Technique

  • Superficial parotidectomy
  • Deep lobe parotidectomy
  • Surgeons will spend their entire career

trying to learn when it is safe or necessary to do more or less than a superficial parotidectomy

6

Superficial Parotidectomy

  • Indications
  • Neoplasm
  • Risk of metastasis
  • Recurrent

infection/abscess

  • Surgical exposure –

deep lobe/ parapharynx/ infratemporal fossa

  • Cosmesis

Pre-operative Discussion

  • Individualized
  • Goals – rational – risks
  • Goals – safe and complete removal

with surrounding margin of normal tissue and preservation of facial nerve function

Facial Nerve Identification

  • Helpful:
  • Cartilaginous

pointer

  • Posterior belly
  • f the digastric

muscle

  • Mastoid tip
  • Retrograde dissection
  • Mastoid dissection

Superficial Parotidectomy

  • Surgical goals
  • Avoid facial nerve

injury

  • Remove tumor

with surrounding parotid tissue

  • Minimize capsular

dissection

  • Avoid tumor spillage

22

Partial Parotidectomy

  • Inferior parotidectomy
  • Posterior parotidectomy
  • Accessory parotidectomy
  • Deep lobe partial parotidectomy

Deep Lobe of the Parotid Gland

  • Largest portion between ramus of

mandible and mastoid process

  • Small amount deep

to facial nerve and

  • ver masseter

muscle

  • Smaller extension

retromandibular into the parapharyngeal space

26

Deep Lobe Parotidectomy Indications

  • To understand the indications one must

know:

  • Regional anatomy
  • Embryology
  • Lymphatic drainage of the parotid

area

  • Parotid tumor behavior
  • Effective surgical technique

Parotid Lymph Nodes Parotid Lymph Nodes

  • 15-20 parotid regional nodes
  • Paraglandular – intraglandular
  • Number lymph

nodes superficial lobe > number lymph nodes deep lobe

  • 15-20 parotid regional nodes
  • Paraglandular – intraglandular
  • Number lymph

nodes superficial lobe > number lymph nodes deep lobe

Deep Lobe Parotidectomy Indications

  • Both benign and malignant tumors
  • Deep lobe parotidectomy alone –

usually benign disease

  • For malignant disease – deep lobe

parotidectomy generally done in conjunction with a superficial parotidectomy

  • Facial nerve preserved or removed

depending on the individual case

30

Deep Lobe Parotid Surgery Partial Removal

  • Identification of facial

nerve portion or all

  • Mobilization of

facial nerve

  • Removal portion

gland by tumor

  • Preservation most

deep structures

Summary

  • Surgeon should be

able to match patient’s expectations of a safe successful tumor removal with preservation of facial nerve function

  • Challenges – unknowns –

unexpected – unusual
