Background: Parotid gland and duct injuries are rare complications following surgery of parotid gland and temporomandibular joint. Sialocele is a cavity filled with saliva, usually formed as a result of trauma to salivary gland/duct or an iatrogenic complication of surgery. Several methods of managing parotid duct injury have been reported in the literature. In this article, we describe an indigenous way of internalisation of salivary fistula that resulted from traumatic injury to the parotid duct.
Methods: The authors present two cases of parotid sialocele managed using Foley's catheter through an intraoral opening, and catheter was internalised, secured and left in situ for 15 days.
Results: The salivary flow was found to be normal through the intraoral opening, and no recurrence was observed postoperatively.
Conclusion: Parotid duct injury associated with sialocele and cutaneous salivary fistula could be effectively internalised using Foley's catheter, under local anaesthesia. This technique of internalisation of parotid sialocele is simple, less invasive and may be performed as an outpatient procedure.

Introduction: Mandibular condylar fractures are among the most common facial fractures and its incidence has been rising since the past few decades. Although various approaches for management of mandibular condylar fractures have been described in literature there is a gap in the published literature when it comes to comparison of these approaches. There have only been a handful of studies which have compared use of Retromandibular Transparotid against Retromandibular anteroparotid approach in management of mandibular condylar fractures with conflicting results.

Medical Doctor, Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Kocaeli City Hospital, Kocaeli, Turkey.
Backgrounds: Various incisions are used in parotid surgery, yet they often result in visible scarring on the neck and potential deformities. This study aimed to assess the efficacy and feasibility of utilizing a periauricular approach for excising parotid tumors irrespective of their location and size.
Methods: This retrospective study involved 46 consecutive patients with parotid lesions, who underwent minimally invasive excision through a periauricular incision performed by a single surgeon between January 2022 and January 2024.
Selective Deep-Lobe Parotidectomy for Benign Parotid Gland Tumors.
Niger J Clin Pract
November 2024
Department of Pathology, Kayseri City Training and Research Hospital, Kayseri, Turkey.
Background: Deep-lobe tumors have been shown to possess a significantly thicker capsule with less tumor penetration compared to superficial tumors. Thus, more conservative surgical approaches, rather than aggressive methods, have been proposed for treating benign deep-lobe tumors of the parotid gland.
Aim: To evaluate the surgical outcomes and oncological safety of selective deep-lobe parotidectomy (SDLP) in patients with benign lesions located in the deep lobe of the parotid gland.
