Loyal capsular dissection of parotid pleomorphic adenomas

Meta-analysis of surgical approaches to the treatment of parotid pleomorphic adenomas and recurrence rates

“…The review process identified a total of 20 studies (al-Naqeeb et al, 1992;Berjis et al, 2007a;Dallera et al, 1993;Debets and Munting, 1992;Ghosh et al, 2003;Henriksson et al, 1998;Iro et ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT al., 2013;Laccourreye et al, 1994;Laskawi et al, 1996;Leverstein et al, 1997;Maimaris and Ball, 1986;Marti et al, 2000;Maynard, 1988;McGurk et al, 1996;Natvig and Soberg, 1994;Satko et al, 2000;Wennmo et al, 1988;Witt, 2002;Woods, 1985). These are reported in Figure 1.…”

Extracapsular lumpectomy and SMAS flap for benign parotid tumours: An early outcome in a small number of cases on Frey's syndrome and facial nerve dysfunction

“…Nowadays, although local excisions and enucleations are still reported (Dallera et al, 1993), parotidectomy is the most common approach for benign salivary neoplasms (such as pleomorphic adenoma and Warthin's tumour). The standard surgical method for a pleomorphic adenoma is conservative superficial parotidectomy or total parotidectomy since the significance of the intact tumour capsule has been recognized as being involved in the prevention of recurrence.…”

Superficial parotidectomy: technical modifications based on tumour characteristics

“…There is no doubt that superficial parotidectomy is the most widely accepted technique in the treatment of pleomorphic adenomas in the superficial lobe of the parotid gland (Maynard, 1988;Laskawi et al, 1996;Christensen and Jacobsen, 1997;Iizuka and Ishikawa, 1998). Other techniques include enucleation, pericapsular excision, total parotidectomy with facial nerve preservation, and partial superficial parotidectomy (Martis, 1983;Donovan and Conley, 1984;Woods, 1985;Maimaris and Ball, 1986;Dallera et al, 1993;Kun et al, 1994;Laskawi et al, 1996;McGurk et al, 1996;Iizuka and Ishikawa, 1998;Langdon and Patel, 1998).…”
