  • In this report, we present our experience with the VITOM 3D system for parotid gland surgery. A retrospective review of 9 consecutive VITOM 3D-assisted parotidectomies was carried out. All of the cases included had benign pathology. Eight of the tumors were in the superficial lobe whereas one case arose in the deep lobe. Superficial parotidectomy type II, according to the ESGS classification, was performed in 5 cases (55.6%): type I-II in 2 cases (22.2%), type I and III in 1 case respectively (11.1%). The postoperative period was uneventful for all of the patients, and no cases of postoperative temporary or definite facial nerve palsy or other complications were reported. The mean operating time was 145 minutes (range 135-165 minutes). Asthenopia never occurred, and there were no cases in which the first surgeon, the assistants, or the nurses needed to interrupt the 3D vision. VITOM 3D has been demonstrated to be safe and effective for parotid gland surgery. The main advantages of VITOM 3D are improved visualization, ergonomics, versatility, training, and education. The drawbacks are related to asthenopia and the learning curve, even though, in our experience, the impact of these factors is minimal.
