A superficial parotidectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the outer part of the parotid gland. During this surgery, the surgeon makes an incision in front of the ear and down the neck. Importantly, they try to avoid damaging the facial nerve, which runs through the parotid gland and is responsible for the facial expression. This procedure is commonly used to treat tumors in the superficial lobe of the parotid gland.
This video demonstrates a right superficial parotidectomy. It involves removing all of the gland superficial to the facial nerve, with facial nerve preservation for a basal cell adenoma. This video provides a real-time, detailed view of the entire surgical process, from the initial incision to the final sutures, offering a valuable educational resource for medical students, professionals, and anyone interested in surgical procedures.
