Abstract

Transoral parotidectomy allows for the management of parapharyngeal space tumors and accessory parotid gland tumors without the need for a transfacial/transparotid or mandible splitting procedure. It is a minimally invasive approach that permits a faster recovery and with a lesser risk of facial palsy.

Keywords: Accessory parotid gland; Parapharyngeal space tumor; Parotidectomy; Transoral.
