Watching Food Videos Leads to Postparotidectomy Salivary Fistula.

Salivary fistula is a common postparotidectomy complication, and eating sour or spicy food ranks among the leading causes. Here we report a rare postparotidectomy salivary fistula case, a 31-year-old female patient who affirmed that she did not eat any irritating foods but admitted that she had been watching food videos for up to 4 hours every day since she left hospital. This case offers a cautionary tale about postparotidectomy precautions.

Myofascial iliac crest flap for reconstruction of combined oral mucosa-mandibular defects: A single-centre experience.

Background: Deep circumflex iliac artery (DCIA) myofascial iliac crest flap has been used for combined oral mucosa-mandibular defects reconstruction. The bone component of this composite flap can reconstruct the mandible with superior contour match, and the muscle fascia which used for repairing the oral mucosa defect will transform into an oral mucosa-like appearance. To explore its scope of clinical application and how the fascia transformed into oral mucosa will give surgeons flexibility to reconstruct the combined oral mucosa-mandibular defects.
