Aim: The aim of the study was to determine the possible predictive intra–operative factors that may lead to post–operative complications and to identify, describe and manage the various complications of parotidectomy. Background:Parotidectomy, whether it be superficial or total, may be associated with a complication. It may range from a total transection of facial nerve trunk to a simple wound infection. The aim of this study is to identify and manage these complications of parotidectomy encountered in our setup. Materials and methods: A prospective study was done in 22 patients who had undergone superficial parotidectomy (19 cases) and total parotidectomy (3 cases) in our hospital from 1/10/2016 to 31/9/2017. The patients were observed post operatively for development of any complications and were kept under follow–up for a period of 1 year. Results: Following this study, we observed that 22.72% of patients had facial nerve injury, 13.63% of patients developed salivary fistula, 13.63% of patients developed Frey’s Syndrome, 18.18% of patients had ear numbness, 9.09% of patients developed skin flap necrosis and recurrence was seen in 4.54%. There was no reported case of postoperative wound infection, hematoma, and seroma formation. Conclusion: It was seen that marginal mandibular nerve paresis followed by ear numbness were the most commonly encountered complication following parotidectomy. Skin flap necrosis, hematoma and postoperative infection were less common complications.
