Locoregional Parotid Reconstruction

Leslie E Irvine et al. Otolaryngol Clin North Am. 2016 Apr.

Abstract

Parotidectomy for benign and malignant tumors often results in conspicuous contour abnormalities and soft tissue defects. Immediate reconstruction leads to improved patient satisfaction and local or regional flaps can be used for reconstruction in most cases. This article provides a systematic approach to parotid reconstruction.

Keywords: Acellular dermis; Parotidectomy; Parotidectomy reconstruction; Sternocleidomastoid muscle flap; Supraclavicular artery island flap.
