Surgery of the salivary glands evolved rapidly after a greater understanding of the anatomy and pathologic processes affecting them was achieved. This article reviews the general and neurovascular anatomy of the major salivary glands. Understanding the anatomy of the salivary glands is a cornerstone of competent salivary gland surgery. The surgical techniques, potential pitfalls of surgery, and avoidance of postsurgical complications have been highlighted. Recent advances in surgical techniques are also presented.
