OBJECTIVE 1) Present an alternative method of total parotidectomy with or without neck
dissection defect reconstruction that results in improved cosmesis. 2) Describe applications …

Objective Total parotidectomy yields a large surgical defect that leads to both cosmetic and
functional deficits which can be addressed with reconstruction. We evaluated the role of a …

OBJECTIVES: The study goal was to show that the lateral arm flap is a viable reconstructive
option for complex parotidectomy defects. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING: We studied a …

Background: Radical parotidectomy presents a unique combination of reconstructive
challenges. The high visibility of the region and the specialized structures involved create an …

INTRODUCTION: Total parotidectomy has aesthetic and functional sequelae, including
Frey'syndrome and soft tissue depression of the region. The aim of repair is to reduce these …

Radical treatment of parotid neoplasms may lead to complex parotid defects that present
functional and aesthetic reconstructive challenges. We report our experience using the …

This study analyzed our institution's experience with a buried submental flap for soft tissue
reconstruction following radical parotidectomy. A retrospective chart review was conducted …

Total parotidectomy with facial nerve sacrifice (radical parotidectomy) is performed to treat
as many as 20% of parotid gland malignancies when the facial nerve is invaded by a tumor …

Background: Composite defects resulting from total parotidectomy present unique
reconstructive challenges. This study reviews our experience using the anterolateral thigh …

Background Extirpation of aggressive parotid or cutaneous facial tumors often involves facial
nerve sacrifice and the creation of a large soft-tissue defect. We describe a method for single …
