There is a 25-50% risk of facial weakness directly after parotidectomy and a 1-2% risk of permanent weakness. [4] Frey’s syndrome may occur in up to 90% of patients. [4] Risk of mortality is very low in reference to the surgery. [4] In a case of benign tumor, such as pleomorphic adenoma, a significant outcome is also the rate of tumor recurrence.

[5] In this case the sialocele is the result of saliva draining out of remaining parotid tissue, and occurs about 5 to 10% of cases of superficial (partial) parotidectomy. [5] [6]
Surgical techniques in parotid surgery have evolved in the last years with the use of neuromonitoring of the facial nerve and have become safer and less invasive. [19] After surgical removal of the parotid gland (parotidectomy), the auriculotemporal nerve is liable to damage and upon recovery it fuses with sweat glands. This can cause sweating ...
Parotitis presents as swelling at the angle of the jaw. Bacterial parotitis presents as a unilateral swelling, where the gland is swollen and tender and usually produces pus at the Stensen's duct. This pus is usually sampled and the bacteria within are identified. Common causative bacteria are Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes and E ...
