Salivary Gland Tumor Excision

Excision of parotid and submandibular gland tumors, utilizing direct facial nerve branch tracking.

CLINICAL ONCOLOGY PORTAL

Surgical Clearance Protocol

This protocol details the clinical parameters, resection boundaries, and anatomical checkpoints managed during the procedure. The priority is achieving R0 (microscopically negative) margins while preserving surrounding neural and vascular structures.

Procedural Stages

Facial nerve trunk identification at the stylomastoid foramen.
Retrograde tracking of temporal, zygomatic, buccal, marginal mandibular, and cervical branches.
Superficial parotidectomy with en-bloc tumor clearance.
Central nerve grafting if malignant infiltration demands nerve resection.
