Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Parotidectomy, the surgical removal of lesions, mainly tumours, in the parotid gland, has long been a challenge in terms of the accurate resection of the lesion and minimizing complications. Although not common in other organs, the parotid gland has an internal branching of the facial nerve, thus requiring delicate manipulation to preserve it. The histopathological variety of salivary gland tumours also makes diagnosis and treatment more difficult. Even with the development of nerve monitoring devices, preservation of function is occasionally difficult. Therefore, preoperative and intraoperative diagnosis, especially histopathological characterization, is very important in the handling of the nerves. The challenges in salivary gland treatment are diverse, including surgical techniques, imaging, and pathology, and their development is essential for safe treatment. In addition to surgical treatment, future advances in molecular-targeted therapy and immunotherapy are also promising. In this Special Issue, we welcome authors to submit papers on the clinical advances of salivary gland lesions in terms of both diagnosis and treatment.
