Zusammenfassung

Bei gutartigen Parotistumoren ist es ein vorrangiges Behandlungsziel, die Morbidität des operativen Eingriffs zu senken. Standardisiertes intraoperatives Vorgehen und Verfahren zur Minimierung des Operationsumfangs konnten das Risiko einer bleibenden Fazialisparese deutlich senken. Aktuelle evidenzbasierte Therapieverfahren und mögliche Komplikationen nach Parotidektomie werden in diesem Beitrag näher erläutert.

Abstract

Parotidectomy is the standard procedure for treatment of benign parotid tumors. Nowadays, one of the main objectives of surgery is to minimize morbidity. However, the debate about the appropriate surgical technique in parotid surgery is still ongoing. There is a high level of evidence, that limited parotidectomy techniques are associated with fewer complications and especially with lower prevalence of permanent facial nerve palsy and Frey´s syndrome. However, limited parotidectomy requires an accurate pre-selection of patients and a precise preoperative diagnostic work-up. This manuscript describes the current trends in surgery for benign parotid lesions and illustrates the treatment options for major post-parotidectomy complications.
