Abstract |
The distal end of parotid duct is often inevitably resected en-block with the buccal mucosa cancer to obtain safety margin and prevent local recurrence. Ligation of duct frequently causes complications like cheek swelling, fistula and gland function loss. The authors describe a novel procedure of combined use of autologous vein graft and vascular coupler to reconstruct the parotid duct defect for buccal mucosa cancer patients who undergo radical neck dissection and free-flap reconstruction, no lumen-stent or cannula is needed. Case examples are shown to illustrate the operative details and different outcomes for two kinds of orifice site choices. Key factors for success include the proper use of Coupler device, right choice of new orifice location and maintenance of lumen patency. For buccal mucosa cancer patients, this novel method for parotid duct reconstruction could effectively reduce postoperative complications and preserve the parotid gland function.
