A parotidectomy is a surgical procedure to remove some or all of the parotid gland.

Overview

Indications

  • Tumor of parotid gland

Surgical procedure

  • Superficial: removal of parotid gland lateral to facial nerve.
  • Total: removal of parotid gland lateral and medial to facial nerve, often combined with neck dissection.
  • Radical: removal of parotid gland with facial nerve

Labs and studies

  • As indicated by H&P

Operating room setup

  • Facial nerve stimulator

Patient preparation and premedication

  • Routine

Regional and neuraxial techniques

  • N/A

Intraoperative management

Monitoring and access

  • Standard monitoring
  • 18G PIV x 1

Induction and airway management

  • Standard induction avoiding long acting paralytic (succinylcholine or remifentanil)
  • ETT taped to opposite side.

Positioning

  • Supine
  • Head turned to opposite side
  • Bed may be turned 90 or 180 degrees

Maintenance and surgical considerations

  • Volatile anesthetic or TIVA
  • Avoid long acting paralytic to allow for facial nerve, monitoring, consider remifentanil to maintain a still patient, facial nerve monitoring by surgeon
