Improving Outcomes and Functions of patient after a Radical Parotidectomy and Oncologic Facial Nerve Sacrifice
4th June 2026, 20:00 to 21:00 BST
Overview
Join this focused lecture on managing biologically aggressive tumours of the parotid gland that require facial nerve sacrifice, occurring in approximately 5–10% of oncologic cases. Gain a pragmatic surgical framework, clear principles for static and dynamic reconstruction, and practical tips to optimise eye protection, speech, swallowing, and facial symmetry. This session is ideal for surgeons seeking to broaden their surgical repertoire, reduce morbidity, and restore function for these patients, with the ultimate aim of improving outcomes and quality of life.
Aims and Learning Objectives
By the end of this webinar, attendees should be able to:
-
Understand the oncological surgical approach to these aggressive tumour involving the parotid gland
-
Have a good understanding of the principles in reconstructing these patients for most optimal outcomes.
