Published: 2024-06-04

Abstract

Tumours of the deep lobe are treated by total Parotidectomy. Deep lobe parotidectomy is a critical procedure to master for any head and neck surgeon. Thorough anatomical understanding and safe surgical technique are critical. Parotid gland is invested by the superficial layer of the deep cervical fascia, or parotidomasseteric fascia, which extends into the parotid parenchyma, separating it into lobules [2,3]. This fascia is separate from the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS)
