Postoperative sialoceles and fistulas are frequent surgical complications of parotid tumor resection. Extracapsular dissection by the sternocleidomastoid muscle-parotid space approach (ECD-SMPSA) is a minimally invasive technique. To our knowledge, the characteristics of sialoceles and fistulas secondary to ECD-SMPSA have not been reported.
This prospective study enrolled 52 patients who underwent ECD-SMPSA without sialocele/fistula prevention measures. Postoperative sialoceles and fistulas were evaluated during 2 months of follow-up.
Among the 52 patients, only one male patient developed a mild sialocele. No salivary fistulas occurred. The overall rate of sialocele/fistula formation was 1.92%.
When treating clinically benign tumors that involve the sternocleidomastoid muscle-parotid space, ECD-SMPSA may prevent postoperative formation of sialoceles and salivary fistulas.
腮腺肿瘤切除术后涎瘘和涎肿是常见的手术并发症。茎突-胸锁乳突肌-腮腺间隙入路（ECD-SMPSA）的囊外解剖是一种微创技术。据我们所知，ECD-SMPSA 术后涎瘘和涎肿的特征尚未有报道。
本前瞻性研究纳入了 52 例未采取预防涎瘘/涎肿措施而行 ECD-SMPSA 的患者。在 2 个月的随访期间，评估术后涎瘘和涎肿的发生情况。
52 例患者中，仅 1 例男性患者出现轻度涎肿。无涎瘘发生。涎瘘/涎肿总形成率为 1.92%。
对于累及胸锁乳突肌-腮腺间隙的临床良性肿瘤，ECD-SMPSA 可能预防术后涎瘘和涎肿的形成。
