We conducted a retrospective case review at our tertiary care academic medical center to assess the long-term results of microvascular free-tissue transfer to achieve facial reanimation in 3 patients. These patients had undergone wide-field parotidectomy with facial nerve resection. Upper facial reanimation was accomplished with a proximal facial nerve-sural nerve graft, and lower facial moveme...

We have created an alternative method for facial reanimation. This new surgical procedure involves masseter muscle transposition combined with tensor fascia lata, and the zygomatic arch is used as a trochlea to achieve reconstruction of inferior facial paralysis. This method was used on five patients with facial palsy after excision of a malignant parotid tumour. Wide skin defect exposing the m...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS The aim of this study was to present our experience with management of malignant lesions arising within the masticator space, and to describe a technique of en bloc resection and reconstruction. STUDY DESIGN Case series and case report. METHODS Eight cases of masticator space malignancies treated surgically with en bloc resection and free flap reconstruction were retro...

Parotid swellings are uncommon. Over a twelve-year period, 110 cases of parotid swellings were treated at the Department of Plastic Surgery, Hospital Kuala Lumpur, of which 97 cases were histologically proven to be parotid tumours. 75% of these tumours were benign tumours, and 80% of the benign tumours were pleomorphic adenomas. Among the malignant tumours, 6 cases were adenoid cystic carcinoma...

BACKGROUND The most common histological diagnosis of bilateral parotid gland neoplasm is Warthin tumor. Bilateral malignant tumors of the parotid gland are extremely rare. METHODS A 60-year-old man presented with a painless mass in the right preauricular area and an MRI scan showed multiple masses in the parotid glands, bilaterally. A standard superficial parotidectomy was performed on the ri...

Abstract Aim With the reported incidence of Frey's syndrome as high 59%, significant morbidity experienced by patients post parotidectomy has resulted in a range treatment options being proposed with variable outcomes. The lack consensus offered wide treatments varying success. While fat grafting remains for contour deformity correction, there is emerging evidence to suggest its effectiveness s...

Abstract Aims After superficial parotidectomy, the incidence of facial nerve injury, for pleomorphic adenoma parotid gland, remains topic interest despite different techniques to identify during surgery. We aim evaluate injury in patients undergoing parotidectomy absence conductor. Methods calculating sample size, 101 irrespective age and gender were included this cross-sectional study at Depar...

PurposeFor patients without pathological evidence of cervical disease after neck dissection for cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma involving the parotid region, inclusion ipsilateral in post-parotidectomy radiation volume is routinely performed. We report our experience with selective avoidance undergoing postoperative to bed.Methods and MaterialsFrom January 2014 December 2023, a total 30 conse...
