Key Points

This research aims to evaluate the outcomes of parotidectomy performed by surgical oncologists and identify associated complications.
Retrospective review of 74 patients undergoing parotidectomy from 2015 to 2025 by surgical oncologists.
Demographics, perioperative characteristics, and complications were analyzed and associations assessed using multivariate logistic regression.
Data was collected on patient demographics, comorbidities, and complication rates.
Temporary facial nerve paresis occurred in 40.3% of patients by postoperative day one, with no cases of permanent facial nerve paresis.
Frey's syndrome occurred in 9.0% and First Bite Syndrome in 10.4%, higher among malignant cases than benign indications.
Positive lymph node status was linked to FBS (p = 0.015), indicating a potential correlation with surgical dissection.
