Abstract EN
Objective : This study aimed to determine the indications of partial superficial parotidectomy with extracapsular dissection and traditional superficial parotidectomy for the removal of pleomorphic adenoma.
Design : Retrospective review study.
Setting : Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, King Abdulaziz University, KSA.
Method : Treatment of 30 patients of pleomorphic adenoma is reviewed.
Partial superficial parotidectomy (PSP) and extracapsular dissection (ECD) were performed using nerve monitoring.
Result : Most of the tumors were 4-5 cm in diameter and located in the lower half of the gland.
Postoperatively, we had 5 facial nerves weakness, which resolved within three months.
No tumor recurrence or postoperative depression was observed.
Some of the gland function was retained.
Conclusion : This alternative approach is safe and can be considered in cases of small tumors of the superficial lobe of the parotid gland.
