Description
This book aims to systematize the
selection of treatment options in patients with extended parotid tumors. Clear
criteria are provided to assist in the choice of treatment, from the simplest
options involving use of local flaps to the most sophisticated ones. With
numerous exquisitely detailed color photos, this book will assist the surgeon
in ensuring that the patient achieves the best possible quality of life, no
matter what the patient’s age or the associated comorbidities.
Tumors of the parotid gland present particular
problems for the surgeon, especially when they extend beyond the borders of the
parotid tissue. Reconstruction of the postoperative defect is especially
difficult, not only due to the complexity and density of the anatomical
structures in the lateral region of the head and neck, but also because of the
general condition of most patients, who tend to be elderly and to have
accompanying disorders. The difficulty in managing extended parotid tumors is
increased by the need to sacrifice the facial nerve, even if only partially. Each
case must be carefully judged and treated with caution, and Management of Extended
Parotid Tumors will provide an
excellent basis for decision making.
