Abstract
The sternocleidomastoid (SCM) flap has been used for a long time in protective coverage of major vessels, reconstruction of intraoral pharyngeal, closure of pharyngo-cutaneous fistulas, and augmentation of soft tissue defects in the oral and maxillofacial region. However, this flap is not yet commonly used due to doubtful blood supply to the flap. This flap offers favorable esthetic results, combined flap, rich vascularization, and the possibility of shifting the two heads of the muscle. Thus, this flap has been used broadly in the maxillofacial region to reconstruct the defects of the post-parotidectomy, mandible, pharynx, and floor of the mouth defects. Previous studies discussed the use of a SCM flap following parotidectomy. However, few studies explained the use of SCMs in facial reconstruction. This study aims to review published articles discussing the use of SCMs for facial reconstruction.

Different Surgical Strategies in the Prevention of Frey Syndrome: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. Laryngoscope 2021; 131:1761-1768. [PMID: 33502015 DOI: 10.1002/lary.29414] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2020] [Revised: 12/17/2020] [Accepted: 01/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/09/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE/HYPOTHESIS To define the best surgical technique able to reduce Frey syndrome (FS) incidence after parotidectomy. STUDY DESIGN Systematic review and network meta-analysis. METHODS An arm-based network analysis was conducted using a Bayesian hierarchical model. The primary and secondary outcomes were the incidence of subjective (clinical) and objective (positive starch-iodine test result) FS, respectively. RESULTS A total of 3830 patients with a median age of 50.35 years (n = 2323; IQR 44.25-54.18) were included for six interventions [temporoparietal fascia (TPFF), free fat graft (FFG), acellular dermal matrix (ADM), sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM) flap, and superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) flap]. If compared to no treatment, the greatest reduction of subjective (clinical) FS incidence was measured for the TPFF (OR: 0.07, CI: 0.004-0.57), the ADM (OR: 0.09, CI: 0.02-0.35), and the FFG (OR: 0.11, CI: 0.03-0.42) techniques. However, a significant difference was measured also for the SCM flap (OR: 0.38, CI: 0.18-0.73) and for the SMAS flap (OR: 0.42, CI: 0.19-0.97). All treatments showed a significant reduction of the objective FS incidence if compared to no treatment (FFG, OR: 0.06, CI: 0.002-0.62; TPFF, OR: 0.07, CI: 0.01-0.33; ADM, OR: 0.11, CI: 0.03-0.44; SMAS, OR: 0.36, CI: 0.17-0.71; SCM, OR: 0.40, CI: 0.19-0.74). CONCLUSIONS TPFF, ADM, and FFG seem to be the best treatment strategies to prevent FS after parotidectomy. Further randomized controlled trials comparing these techniques should be conducted to define specific indications. Laryngoscope, 131:1761-1768, 2021.

Lambiel S, Dulguerov N, Courvoisier DS, Dulguerov P. Minor Parotidectomy Complications: A Systematic Review. Laryngoscope 2020; 131:571-579. [PMID: 32678921 DOI: 10.1002/lary.28912] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2019] [Revised: 05/12/2020] [Accepted: 05/26/2020] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To report descriptive statistics for minor parotidectomy complications. METHODS A systematic review was performed, selecting 235 studies for analysis. The incidence of complications was tabulated, and descriptive statistics calculated. Outlier studies, 1 standard deviation above the mean, were reexamined to determine potential causal factors for each complication. All studies were examined for statistically significant differences for any potential causal factor. RESULTS The pooled incidence of minor complications reported were hematoma 2.9% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.4-3.5), wound infection 2.3% (95% CI: 1.8-2.9), sialocele 4.5% (95% CI: 3.5-5.7), salivary fistula 3.1% (95% CI: 2.6-3.7), flap necrosis 1.7% (95% CI: 1.1-2.5), scar issues 3.6% (95% CI: 2.4-5.4), numbness 33.9% (95% CI: 25.6-43.4), and deformity 11.8 (95% CI: 6.9-19.5). Implants result in more wound complications, such as hematoma, sialocele, or salivary fistula. Sialocele and salivary fistula appear more frequently after less extensive parotid surgery, whereas hematoma, wound infections, flap necrosis, and aesthetic considerations are worse with more extensive resections. CONCLUSIONS Minor parotidectomy complications are more frequent than generally assumed and related to certain factors that should be investigated. Laryngoscope, 131:571-579, 2021.
