We herein describe a case of accessory parotid gland tumor, including diagnosis and surgical approach. The accessory parotid gland is salivary tissue separated from the main parotid gland and lying on masseter muscle. It has secondary duct empting into the Stensen's duct. The accessory parotid gland exists in 21-61 % of individuals. However, the appearance of an accessory parotid tumor is rare,...

A new method for reversible reentrant cannulation of the parotid duct in cattle by use of an injectable anesthetic regimen is described. Ruminal contents were removed before anesthesia instead of food deprivation. The parotid duct was dilated by means of a long hemostatic forceps: its jaws were encased in a piece of plastic tube, and the tip was extended by a piece of flexible wire. A polyethyl...

Evaluation of the parotid duct from trauma in an austere military environment can be challenging. Appropriate radiologic evaluation of a potential isolated parotid duct injury in this environment has not been reported. The use of a plain X-ray sialogram at the forward surgical team is demonstrated and may be beneficial in this setting.

Injuries in the parotid and masseter region can cause serious impairment secondary to damage of important anatomical structures. Sialocele is observed as facial swelling associated with parotid duct rupture due to trauma. The aim of this paper is to report a case of a giant traumatic sialocele in the parotid gland, secondary to a knife lesion in a 40-year-old woman. Conservative measures could ...

Rejuvenation procedures, especially facelift are nowadays common type of cosmetic surgery. According to the statistical data, facelifts were the seventh most popular aesthetic surgery performed after liposuction, breast augmentation, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), breast reduction and rhinoplasty. The most common complication after surgery is bleeding. Less common...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM The most common method for parotid duct anastomosis is suturing. A ductal defect of greater than 1cm may prevent a direct anastomosis. PURPOSE The goal of this study was a sialographic evaluation to compare repairing a parotid duct with facial vein graft versus Gore-Tex tub in 19 dogs. MATERIAL AND METHODS Nineteen dogs were studied in this experimental trial. Extra ora...

Abstract Acute soft tissue trauma to the head and neck is a common reason for emergency department presentation should be appropriately evaluated by facial plastic surgeon. The evaluation of patient who has suffered always include comprehensive nerve exam carry low threshold suspicion parotid duct injury when involving cheek. Injuries can result in significant long-term functional, cosmetic, em...

The distribution of amylase in rat parotid glands and von Ebner's glands was examined using ion etching-immunoscanning electron microscopy, which enables both light and electron microscopic observations of identical semi-thin resin sections immunolabeled with anti-α-amylase and immunogold in association with silver enhancement. At the light microscopic level, most acinar secretory granules (SG)...

The aim of this paper was to present the efficacy of surgically created orifice in the buccal mucosa in the treatment of parotid duct fistula. The treatment was performed in 7 patients with parotid duct fistula. The procedure comprised creation of an artificial orifice in the buccal mucosa by introducing a haemostat via an open extraoral wound and puncturing the mucosa. Through the newly create...
