to identify the main trunk of the nerve when the standard approach is not possible.
• Once the nerve has been identied, dissection continues along the main trunk and branches (Figs.3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8).
• To avoid injury to the nerve, the soft tissue should be lifted, spread and then cut.
• The parotid lateral to the visible portion of the nerve is divided.

• Overstimulation of the nerve is to be avoided. Overuse of the facial nerve stimulator can cause praxis of the nerve, as can improper dis­secting technique. The tissues over the nerve should be spread apart in a plane parallel to the nerve bres; any angulation away from

this plane may cause undue trauma to the nerve.
• Extracapsular dissection descended from the technique of intracapsular enucleation, which was performed up to the 1960s. It was intended to decrease injuries to the facial nerve but resulted in recurrence rates of over 40% due to incomplete resection of the capsule.
• Benign parotid neoplasms also require exci­sion of a small cuff of the normal gland.
• However, the deep portion of the dissection of the facial nerve often yields no margin of the tissue other than the tumour capsule itself.
• Careful dissection of the tumour away from the nerve is necessary to avoid injury to the facial nerve and complete excision of the capsule.
• Once the tumour has been dissected off the facial nerve beyond the anterior limit of the lesion, the parotid is divided, and the speci­men is removed.
• In cases of malignancy, particularly low-grade tumours, the extent of parotidectomy may be similar to that involved in the resection of benign tumours.
• Suture ligation of small vessels or bipolar cau­tery is used to avoid injury to the nerve.
• Dexamethasone instilled locally over the facial nerve had been found to reduce the facial nerve paresis postoperatively.
• Insertion of a suction drain is useful after the wound is irrigated (Fig.9).

• Defects resulting in obvious contour hollow­ing can be repaired by:
– Approximating the SMAS to the SCM or
creating a small rotation ap by dividing some of the superior bres of the SCM and suturing them anteriorly. Care must be exercised to avoid injury to the spinal accessory nerve.
– The use of allogenic dermal grafts. These
have been reported to be safe, but this avas­cular foreign body has also been found to promote infection and salivary stula.
– Insertion of adipose tissue grafts, which are
limited by reabsorption and a separate donor site.
• Subcutaneous layer approximated with an interrupted suture (Fig.10).
• Steri-Strips are applied, followed by a sterile parotid dressing.

• Nerve ends should be examined and freshened
by excising a small amount of the nerve to cre­ate a blunt edge.
• Epineurium is reapproximated using an 8- or
9-0 monolament suture; a neural tube can be placed to support the repaired nerve.
• If a nerve graft is required, the greater auricu-
lar is readily available.
• When the nerve is repaired in a second stage,
the sural nerve or medial branchial cutaneous nerve is a good graft choice.
• If the nerve was normal preoperatively and a
microscopic repair is performed immediately, the best result possible is a House-Brackmann grade III.Recovery takes about 6–12months.
1.7.2 Facial Nerve Function
• If facial paresis is found but the nerve was
found to be intact intraoperatively, a full recovery of function is expected.
• High-dose steroids are generally not indicated
as they do not improve the outcome.
• Reoperation is indicated only if the nerve was
not identied during the dissection. In this case attempts to nd and repair the nerve should be made.

1.7 Anticipated Complications: Mitigation andManagement
1.7.1 Injury totheFacial Nerve
• Mild neuropraxia resolves in 4–6weeks.
• More severe traction injuries resulting in axo-
nal death will take much longer to recover (6 months); imperfect recovery leads to per­manent weakness and synkinesis.
• Transected nerve bres should be repaired if
possible.
1.7.3 Drains andDressing
• Drains are left to bulb suction to avoid inad­vertent stress to the nerve.
• The drain is removed if total output is less than 20mL in 24h. After that point, the drain is removed if there is less than 5mL of drain­age over the next 8h.
1.7.4 Hematoma
• Sudden facial swelling or rapid lling of the drain should be treated by exploration of the wound in the operating room.
• Evacuation of the hematoma is important in order to avoid wound infection and necrosis of the ap.
1.7.5 Frey Syndrome
• Occurs in up to 60% of parotidectomy patients, but only about 10% has been considered to have a negative impact on quality of life.

• Antiperspirant application or botulinum toxin injections are temporary management options.
• Long-term control involves placement of the vascularized tissue between the parotid bed and the skin.
• Intraoperatively, a ap can be created by lift­ing the SMAS off the gland, leaving it pedi­cled anteriorly, and then placing in the defect before closure.
• Revision surgery for Frey syndrome should be carefully considered because of the increased risk of facial nerve injury due to scarring.
1.7.6 Infection
• Occurs in less than 5% of cases.
1.7.7 Sialocele Formation
andSeroma
• It is a very uncommon (approximately 5%) but persistent complication of supercial parotidectomy.
• The use of allogenic dermal grafts or Surgicel and anterior location of the tumour have been implicated as risk factors.
• Ballotable swelling noted at the postoperative check should be aspirated in the ofce. The skin is prepped to avoid the introduction of bacteria, and a large-bore (16–20 French) nee­dle is used to aspirate the collection. Pressure dressings at this point confer little advantage. Repeat aspiration may be necessary, espe­cially in cases of seroma formation.
• Expectant management is also reasonable, and most of these conditions resolve without treat­ment in 4–6weeks.
1.7.8 Flap Necrosis andHypertrophic
Scars
• Flap necrosis is avoidable if the skin is ele­vated with the subcutaneous adipose tissue.
• Keloid formation may be seen early in the postoperative period and is best treated when rst noted. Injection of triamcinolone directly into the scar is effective.
• Local anaesthesia with lidocaine prior to injection or mixed with triamcinolone is important, as hypertrophic scar injection is often painful.
1.7.9 Recurrent Tumour or Infection
• Occurs in 2% of cases.
• Incomplete capsule removal and, less com­monly, tumour spillage are causative.
• If capsule rupture occurs, the wound is irri­gated with copious amounts of saline and carefully inspected to remove all tumour fragments.
• Imaging and FNAC are required.
• The goal of revision surgery is resection of all tumour deposits, which may not be possible without sacricing a portion of the facial nerve.
• Radiation is used in cases of widespread recurrence or multiple surgeries.
2 Submandibular Gland
Lesions
The submandibular gland is one of three paired major salivary glands that drains into the oral cavity. It is midway in size and location between the largest, the parotid gland, and the smallest, the sublingual gland. Histologically, it consists of both serous and mucinous acini, which collec­tively drain into an excretory duct that carries the secreted saliva into the oral cavity. A mass in the submandibular gland or a minor salivary gland is more likely to be malignant. In a review of more than 2000 salivary gland tumour cases, 73% of the tumours were found in the parotid with only 15% found to be malignant, while 11% were found in the submandibular gland with 37% found to be malignant. Tumours of the sublingual gland are extremely rare and comprise 0.5–1% of all salivary tumours, and 80–90% are malignant [2, 14, 15].
It is imperative for the physician to distinguish
a chronic benign process, such as sialadenitis, from a submandibular gland neoplasm, and then further determine if a neoplasm is benign or malignant. This is done through careful history and physical exam, as well as utilization of pre­operative imaging and ne-needle aspiration.
Management of submandibular gland malig-
nancy can be challenging due to the relative rarity of the disease and the diversity of its behaviour
