Article Synopsis
- Benign tumours make up 60-80% of parotid neoplasms, with Warthin's tumour being the second most common, constituting about 15% of parotid epithelial tumours.
- The study analyzed medical records of 100 patients who underwent surgery for Warthin's tumour, with 96% receiving subtotal parotidectomies; 62.3% experienced postoperative complications, primarily facial nerve dysfunction.
- Both subtotal and total parotidectomy are effective treatments with no cases of recurrence, but total parotidectomy may carry a higher risk of complications like facial nerve dysfunction and Frey's syndrome compared to subtotal procedures.
