Parotidectomy
Parotidectomy The parotid gland is divided into a superficial lobe and a deep lobe for purposes of surgical dissection. Because 70% to 80% of the parotid tissue lies in the…
Introduction
Introduction Facial incisions are designed to preserve facial symmetry and motion and to minimize scarring. To remove small skin tumors, make elective incisions in natural skin “wrinkle lines,” if possible…
Introduction
Introduction This anatomically complex region is presented in four sections: the face and parotid region (Chapter 1), endoscopy of the upper respiratory tract (Chapter 2), the midline of the neck…
