Treatment of complications of parotid gland surgery

Abstract
in English, Italian

Although several reports in the literature have documented the surgical technique, and the oncological outcome achieved with parotidectomy, only a few articles have described the complications of parotid gland surgery and their management. Several complications have been reported in parotid surgery. We re-classified the complications of parotidectomy in intra-operative and post-operative (early and late). The commonest complications after parotidectomy are temporary or permanent facial palsy and Frey's syndrome.

Sebbene esistano in letteratura numerosi articoli che descrivono la tecnica chirurgica ed i risultati oncologici delle parotidectomie, soltanto pochi articoli descrivono le complicazioni della chirurgia parotidea ed il loro trattamento. Sono numerose le complicazioni descritte nella chrurgia della parotide. Noi abbiamo classificato le complicazioni della chirurgia parotidea in intraoperatorie e postoperatorie (precoci e tardive). Le più comuni complicanze della parotidectomia sono la paralisi temporanea o permanente del nervo facciale e la Sindrome di Frey.
