incision is designed to incorporate 1.0–2.0cm margins of the tumour (Fig.8.39). This ensures that a free negative margin is achieved
post-operatively. This is the case of a young lady presented with a history of right total parotidectomy and neck dis­section at another centre for adenoid cystic carci­noma of right parotid gland. On clinical examination, there was a mass with irregular sur­face and margin, and it was hard in consistency (Fig.8.38a, b). The FNAC report conrms that it was a recurrent carcinoma. She was planned for excision of the recurrent tumour.
Intraoperatively, after a palpation of the
mass to dene the margin of the mass, a skin
After skin incision is made with a blade, the recurrent tumour mass is dissected and retracted. This exposes the carotid artery, IJV, and vagus nerve, underneath the mass (Fig. 8.40). These structures should be pre­served along with the hypoglossal nerve (Figs.8.41 and 8.42).
The mass is removed in total with the skin and measured accordingly for a record (Fig. 8.43). The specimen is sent to pathology lab for a detailed histopathology examination.

8.8 Complications Post Parotidectomy

Complications from parotidectomy are multiple and can be divided into intraoperative and post­operative. Intraoperative complications range across bleeding from external jugular vein or ret­romandibular vein puncture, greater auricular nerve injury, or transection of facial nerve branches.
Post-operative complications include:
1. Early complications:
(a) Marginal mandibular nerve paralysis (b) Haematoma or seroma (c) Pain and discomfort
2. Late complications:
(a) Retromandibular depression (b) Frey’s syndrome (c) Permanent facial nerve paresis
Managing these complications is also chal­lenging and requires a multidisciplinary team approach. The patient should have warned of the possible complications to avoid unwanted medi­colegal issues. This is critical as facial nerve paresis causes signicant facial asymmetry, which impairs patient’s facial appearance.
In case of anticipated signicant retromandib­ular depression that can occur, for instance, after removal of huge parotid pleomorphic adenoma, sternomastoid rotational ap can be performed during the surgery in order to reduce the cosme­sis impairment of retromandibular depression. Subdermal fat graft can also be performed as an alternative option. However, with fat graft, the long-term complication is fat atrophy, which may facilitate repeat fat graft procedure.
Frey’s syndrome is a critical complication from parotid surgery as it causes pain and dis­comfort to patients and involuntary sweating in the cheek region during mastication and eating. Frey’s syndrome can be assessed via the symp­tom assessment and the more objective test of Minor starch iodine test. In our practice, even though patients do not have any complaints to suggest Frey’s syndrome, the Minor starch iodine test is positive. This implies that the incidence of
Frey’s syndrome can be underestimated if a proper objective test is not carried out.
Management of Frey’s syndrome can be divided into intraoperative procedures and post­operative procedures. Intraoperative procedures include the elevation of thicker skin ap, preserv­ing greater amount of periparotid tissues, and doing partial-thickness sternomastoid rotational ap. Post-operative procedures include Botox injection and anticholinergic injection such as aluminium hydroxide.
8.9 Submandibular Gland
Surgery
Submandibulectomy is most commonly per­formed for submandibular gland tumours, both benign and malignant. Other indications for sub­mandibulectomy are sialolithiasis or sialadeno­sis. Submandibulectomy is also performed as part of neck dissection. Multiple critical struc­tures need to be addressed correctly during sub­mandibulectomy. These include marginal mandibular nerve, facial artery and vein, hypo­glossal nerve, lingual nerve, and submandibular duct.
In case of malignant submandibular gland tumour, inltration to mandible or skin or pres­ence of neck metastases will justify the extirpa­tion of these structures. Marginal mandibulectomy or segmental mandibulectomy can be performed accordingly depending on the degree of involvement. Large skin excision together with primary tumour necessitates reconstruction with free ap and skin grafting. The most common neck dissection practised for submandibular malignancy is supraomohyoid or anterolateral neck dissection.
8.9.1 Steps inSubmandibulectomy
This is the case of a young Malay lady who pre­sented with an extensive right submandibular swelling. It is a multilobulated mass with limited mobility and measuring 8.0 cm × 10.0 cm and hard in consistency (Fig.8.44).

Step 1: Patient’s positioning and designing of skin incision Patient is made to lie supine with neck hyperextended and face turned to contra­lateral side. The intubation airway tube is placed away from the surgical eld, on the left side of the oral cavity. The landmark is
identied, which includes the inferior bor­der of mandible, the margin of the mass, the midline, the anterior border of SCM, and the external jugular vein. The skin incision is designed so as to avoid marginal mandibular nerve injury and good access to the inferior pole of the mass, by placing the incision along the skin crease, two nger breadths below the mandible and at the epicentre of the mass (Fig. 8.45). Stage of skin incision is favourable so that

it can avoid unnecessary skin cut. In this case, the skin incision is prepared in conti­nuity with skin incision for parotid gland in case it is affected by the tumour. Step 2: Skin Flap elevation The skin incision is carried out with a blade size 15 or monopolar diathermy with a ne Colorado tip. The subplatysmal ap is raised superiorly to the inferior border of mandible and inferiorly till the inferior border of the mass. The dissection is
carried out on the tumour capsule without breaching of the capsule (Fig.8.46). Step 3: The dissection Laterally, the dissection continues to the lateral border of the mass, avoiding the injury to the greater auricular nerve (GAN), as it lies supercial to sternocleidomastoid muscle. The marginal mandibular nerve identied on the superior part of the tumour capsule and reected superiorly over the skin ap (Fig.8.47).

The dissection continues medially and deep to the mass, releasing the tumour from the surrounding tissue. The posterior belly of digastric is identied, and dissec­tion continues to expose the mylohyoid muscle. The capsule of the mass is main­tained intact (Fig.8.48).

Due to the lingual nerve that passed medi­ally, hooks around the submandibular duct, and runs laterally to the posterior part of the gland, traction of the submandibular glands inferiorly makes the ‘V’-shape g­ure of lingual nerve. The apex of the V is where the duct is. The duct can be ligated as proximal as possible, and the lingual nerve is preserved. The hypoglossal nerve can be found about
1.0cm below to lingual nerve, and it lies just medial to the posterior belly of digas­tric muscle (Figs.8.49 and 8.50). In some cases, the hypoglossal nerve can be low

terized with bipolar diathermy. All nerves are tested before wound is closed in two layers. The Redivac drain size 19 is secured. Step 6: Surgical bed assessment and wound closure After removal of the mass, the surgical bed is checked for any active bleeding. Warm saline can be irrigated and observed for the bleeding area. The bipolar is used to secure the bleeders. The lingual nerve and hypo­glossal nerve are re-tested for functionality. The drain size 10 is secured with Sal 2.0. The wound is closed in two layers. The
During post-operative assessment on day 1, the wound area is inspected for any haematoma and marginal mandibular nerve paresis. The patient is asked to clench her teeth, and apparent paresis of the MM on the affected side can be visualized with the evident loss of depression of angular oris inferior (Fig. 8.52). The patient is pre­scribed with dexamethasone for 3days to reduce oedema and improve the marginal mandibular paresis.
The drain should be checked for drainage to rule out blocked or kinked drain. The resultant collection might compress the nerve and worsen the paresis.

8.10 Complications ofSubmandibulectomy
Xerostomia and decreased salivary ow in a rest­ing position are specic long-term complications after submandibulectomy because the subman­dibular glands are responsible for 70% of resting salivary ow. Up to 22% of operated patients can be affected with it. Other complications might include a heterotrophic scar, keloid formation, injuries to the submandibular duct, ranula, and intraoperative bleeding. Damage to the hypoglos­sal nerve or to the cervical branch of the facial nerve is possible especially in a junior surgeon’s hand.
8.11 Prognosis ofPatients withSalivary Gland Tumours
Patients’ quality of life after radical cancer removal depends on the extent of resection, the preservation of the facial nerve, and the preserva­tion of neighbouring structures such as the greater auricular nerve, hypoglossal nerve, muscles of mastication, and mandible.
The removal of one or more branches of the facial nerve leads to long-term functional de­cits, and cable grafting and neural repair tech­niques are essential for the reconstruction and recovery of the resected facial nerve. Facial nerve asymmetry is disguring and affects normal speech, eating, and facial expression, which is important for social integration. In addition, if the patient had neck dissection at the time of paroti­dectomy, complications from neck dissection can be troublesome like vocal cord paresis or spinal nerve injury. This is compounded if the patient had adjuvant radiation that causes tissue brosis.

8.12 Conclusion

Salivary gland surgery is critical as it involves multiple important neurovascular structures. For parotid gland surgery, the facial nerve needed to be identied and preserved. The submandibulec­tomy poses complications of hypoglossal nerve
and lingual nerve paralysis. In case of malignant tumour, neck dissection needed to be incorpo­rated in the initial surgery to ensure a better treat­ment outcome for this patient. In short, the surgeon needs to master the surgical anatomy and skills in order to perform an effective parotidectomy.
