Iatrogenic injury and/or damage to the parotid salivary gland during transparotid approach for open reduction and internal fixation of mandibular condyle fracture is a rare event. Accumulation of saliva in the gland leads to formation of a sialocele. Huge sialocele often seeks drain through the most dependent area through an extraoral wound, whereas in the absence of extraoral fistula, saliva can be redirected intraorally using a stent. A case of mangement of sialocele caused by damage to glandular elements during a transparotid approach for a subcondylar fracture reduction is reported. The various conservative methods and surgical management for this condition are discussed.

Article Synopsis
- Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is a common benign tumor of the salivary glands, often recurs and can extend into the parapharyngeal space (PPS), complicating treatment.
- A 45-year-old male with a history of limited PA excision presented with a growing neck mass and related symptoms; MRI revealed a large tumor in the PPS.
- Surgical removal involved a specialized neck approach, and the patient received postoperative radiotherapy, emphasizing the complexities and careful planning required for effective management of PPS tumors.

Fractures of the condylar region of the mandible, although fairly common, also generate the most debate regarding management-both closed and open treatment options have been recommended and shown to yield good results. We present our experience with a minimal access retromandibular approach to fractures of the vertical mandible. This is a retrospective study of all patients who underwent open reduction and internal fixation for fractures of the vertical mandible (condyle, subcondylar region, ramus) using a retromandibular approach at a tertiary care hospital in a metropolitan city in India between January 2022 and July 2023.

Study Design: This is a retrospective observational study.
Objective: To evaluate the clinical outcomes after an open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of condylar neck and base fractures (CNBFs) with a trapezoidal shape plate in patients using a less invasive transparotid approach.
Methods: Fifteen patients with condylar fractures were classified according to the Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen Craniomaxillofacial (AOCMF) classification system, treated by ORIF with a trapezoidal plate.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates variations in surgical management for benign deep lobe parotid tumors (BDLPT) by analyzing 75 patients treated at Peking University from 2014 to 2020, focusing on their imaging features and surgical approaches.
- - BDLPTs were categorized into four distinct types based on their anatomical relationships, influencing the choice of surgical methods, which included techniques like transmandibular and transparotid approaches.
- - The research concludes that classifying BDLPT provides essential insights for planning preoperative treatment, indicating that different tumor types require tailored surgical strategies.

Article Synopsis
- Sialocele is a common issue that can arise after surgery for parotid tumors, usually treated with aspiration and pressure dressings, but sometimes these methods fail.
- This case report discusses a patient with a sialocele after a condylar fracture, who was treated with a minocycline injection, four weeks post-surgery.
- Following the minocycline injection, the patient's buccal swelling resolved completely without any complications, suggesting that this method could be a preferred treatment for challenging sialocele cases.
