Pleomorphic adenoma parotid surgery, how much margin we can reach to be safe?
In the surgical resection of parotid PA, negative margins are sufficient, and there is no need to obtain additional safe margins to reduce the risk of recurrence. Therefore, extracapsular dissection (which carries higher morbidities) can be replaced by superficial parotidectomy with negative margins (which carries lower morbidities).
