A parotidectomy is the surgical excision (removal) of the parotid gland, the major and largest of the salivary glands. The procedure is most typically performed due to neoplasms [ 1 ] (tumors), which are growths of rapidly and abnormally dividing cells.
30–50% (after parotidectomy) Frey's syndrome (also known as Baillarger's syndrome , Dupuy's syndrome , auriculotemporal syndrome , [ 1 ] or Frey-Baillarger syndrome ) is a rare neurological disorder resulting from damage to or near the parotid glands responsible for making saliva , and from damage to the auriculotemporal nerve often from surgery.
Surgical techniques in parotid surgery have evolved in the last years with the use of neuromonitoring of the facial nerve and have become safer and less invasive. [19] After surgical removal of the parotid gland (parotidectomy), the auriculotemporal nerve is liable to damage and upon recovery it fuses with sweat glands. This can cause sweating ...
Treatment of individual infections may prevent injury to the gland parenchyma. In the past, the disease was treated with aggressive surgical interventions such as Stensen’s duct ligation, superficial or total parotidectomy, and tympanic neurectomy. Nowadays, the disease is managed with sialendoscopic procedure.
After the time of enucleations, pleomorphic adenomas of parotid gland were recommended to be routinely treated with superficial or total parotidectomy. [13] These procedures combine complete tumor removal and identification of the main trunk of facial nerve during surgery to avoid any lesions to the nerve.
