Patient's question:
Surgical removal of the post-auricular angle cyst led to parotid fistula, which was later compressed by an elastic headband. Will the parotid gland cause problems in the future? What kind of help is needed: Will the parotid gland have problems again due to this surgery? Should the hospital be fully responsible?Doctor's answer:
I have already explained it quite clearly just now, didn't you see? Just because the situation cannot be said to be the doctor's responsibility, because, any surgery has a certain level of risk, and doctors are doing their best, and there is always a possibility of many unexpected events occurring; 'Moreover, you said the condition has already improved. Advice: The leakage you mentioned has already started, and you can see it is a small parotid duct or lymphatic vessel leakage. If it is large, simple compression is not effective. Since it is small and has improved quickly, it proves there is no problem, and there will absolutely be no problem in the future; if there was a problem, it should have appeared by now, and it would never be resolved just by compression.
