Abstract

Various skin incision for access to the parotid region are described by different authors, which differ in extension and localization of the scar. Therefore after parotidectomy, patients are often left with a retromandibular and cervical depression. Maintaining normal facial contour may be difficult in parotidectomy defects, but a good symmetry can and should be achieved when reconstructing the parotid region with a specific approach. The authors show their experience in parotid gland surgery using a new skin incision to improve the aesthetic and functional results and three different techniques the reconstruction of the parotid region.
