Abstract
-
Total parotidectomy is a spectrum of operations based on anatomy and on tumor extent.
-
The surgeon applies knowledge of embryology, anatomy, tumor pathology and behavior, and tumor extent to individualize the operation to the patient.
-
The deep parotid gland contains lymphatic nodes that must be adequately managed in malignant tumors.
-
Adequate management of the deep parotid gland requires control of the intraglandular external carotid artery and its branches.
