Parotidectomy for benign disease is the most common indication for parotidectomy. Surgical treatment of benign parotid disease remains a challenging undertaking that is associated with significant postoperative morbidity. The aim of this study is to present our experience with a series  of 29 cases  of superficial parotidectomies, regarding the incidence of the common complications and the techniques we used to reduce the incidence of these complications. We encountered  2 cases (6.9%) of facial nerve dysfunction; both were of a mild degree. We used Ligasure, loupes, nerve monitoring and certain intra operative techniques to achieve such a low incidence of facial nerve dysfunction.  No case of Frey syndrome was encountered, due to the use of expanded poly tetrajluoroethylene sheets. Only 3 cases suffered partial anaesthesia of the ear pinna, as we preserved the trunk or the posterior branch of the great auricular nerve. Salivary fzstula occu"ed in 17.2% of cases, and was mild and was treated conservatively. We recommend sticking to our techniques to decrease the postoperative complications of parotidectomy.
