ELIMINATION OF THE POST-OPERATIVE DEFECT IN PATIENTS WITH ADENOCARCINOMA OF THE PARATHEAL SALIVARY GLANDS

Main Article Content

Abstract:

Adenocarcinoma of the parotid gland is one of the most aggressive malignant tumors of the salivary glands and often requires radical surgical removal, which leads to functional and aesthetic defects of the maxillofacial region. In this study, the reconstructive results of 32 patients treated at Samarkand State Medical University in 2020-2024 were analyzed. Based on the restoration of postoperative volume, facial symmetry, the degree of complications, and patient satisfaction, various reconstruction methods were evaluated - including a sternocleidomastoid muscle flap, a SMAS flap, reconstruction of the buccal fat layer, and autologous fat transplantation. The results showed that the SCM and SMAS valves gave the most stable and aesthetically pleasing results, while autologous oil welding showed moderate resorption over time. Reconstruction of the fat layer of the cheek ensured reliable restoration of the contour with minimal disease. The research results emphasize the importance of individual reconstructive planning to optimize the quality of life after surgery for patients who have undergone radical surgery on the parotid gland.
