Abstract:
Benign tumors of the parotid gland are common tumors of the head and neck. Surgical resection is considered the main treatment. For the treatment of benign parotid tumors, different surgical approaches can be applied based on many factors, such as tumor type, size, location, depth of tumor and patient requirements, such as improved periauricular incision and improved facial wrinkle removal incision, to achieve the best therapeutic effect. In parotidectomy, the facial nerve, great auricular nerve and parotid duct should be protected as much as possible to preserve the function of the nerve and gland and reduce postoperative complications. In addition, complications after parotidectomy, such as facial nerve injury, salivary fistula, Frey syndrome, postoperative facial depression, abnormal ear sensation and recurrence, should be actively prevented and treated early after the operation, consequently minimizing the impact on patients' postoperative life and improving patients' satisfaction with the operation.
