Surgical management of benign tumors of the parotid gland: the advantages of extracapsular dissection compared to traditional surgical techniques by Antonio Zanghì, Andrea Cavallaro, Martine Marchi, Marcello Marchi, Luigi La Via, Luigi La Via, Filippo Sanfilippo, Filippo Sanfilippo, Alessandro Cappellani, Simone Di Majo

“…However, this surgical procedure may lead to severe postoperative complications, including facial nerve paralysis, in a significant number of patients. In recent years, more gland-preserving techniques were developed to reduce complication rates and improve the safety of procedures and patients' satisfaction, without increasing the risk of recurrence.Materials and methodThis study compares our surgical experience with extracapsular dissection gland-sparing surgery (ECD) to traditional superficial parotidectomy in 56 patients who underwent surgery performed by the same surgical team.ResultsThe superiority of ECD procedures compared to SP procedures was shown as far as total complication rates are concerned. …”
