RESUMO
Parotidectomy is a commonly performed procedure for both benign and malignant lesions. When a significant portion of the gland is resected and the lost tissue volume is not replaced, a disfiguring contour defect can result. This defect can be disfiguring and have a profound impact on quality of life. Large defects are best replaced with vascularized tissue to provide stable volume.
