Vascularized Fascia Lata for Prevention of Postoperative Parotid Fistula Arising From Partial Parotidectomy During Neck Dissection

摘要

Purpose: Postoperative parotid fistula can occur after partial parotidectomy, which is a routine surgical procedure during neck dissection of oral cancers arising from or close to the oropharyngeal area. The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability of vascularized fascia lata for the prevention of postoperative parotid fistula after neck dissection.
