A total of 11 patients (5 male and 6 female patients) have received
tissue sealant following parotidectomy. The last 8 cases were
consecutive patients when tissue sealant was routinely given. Age ranged
from 31 to 69. There were 4 ECD and 7 PP. 7 procedures are performed
under local anesthesia while 4 under general anesthesia. The
demographic, surgical, pathologic and outcome information were
summarized in Table.
Noteworthy, there was no seroma in this series. One patient suffered
from wound infection. There was no other wound complication. All but 3
patients were discharged on the same day of operation. Histopathology
examination confirmed benign pathologies in this series: pleomorphic
adenoma (N=5), Warthin’s tumor (N=4), basal cell adenoma (N=1) and
lipoma (N=1).
