In 28 chapters, the volume addresses a wide range of topics, including embryological development and anomalies, histology, surgical anatomy, and applied physiology of the salivary glands. Parotid gland topics include assessment and evaluation, traumatic injuries and fistulae, calculi, sialadenosis (sialosis), sialadenitis, cysts, tumors of the parotid gland, various techniques and potential complications of parotidectomy, including Frey's syndrome, and extra-temporal facial nerve reconstruction procedures. Likewise, topics of the submandibular gland cover evaluation, sialolithiasis, inflammatory disorders, sialadenosis, tumors, and different techniques and complications of submandibular sialadenectomy. In addition, two chapters discuss surgery of the sublingual gland and minor salivary glands.
