Abstract
Partial superficial parotidectomy was associated with low rates of morbidity to the facial nerve and surgical wound. The results were comparable to complete superficial parotidectomy. We recommend offering patient partial superficial parotidectomy where appropriate and this is in line with the current trend of minimising surgical dissection, thereby potentially decreasing the risk of short-term and long-term complications.
