Question
I had parotid duct leakage after the removal of a postauricular cyst, and it was later compressed with an elastic headband. Will there be any problems with the parotid gland later on? How can I help: Will the parotid gland have any issues again due to this surgery? Should the hospital take full responsibility?
Answer
The patient’s condition has been improved, and parotid duct leakage due to small ducts or lymphatic vessels typically heals on its own. If it has healed, there is no need to worry about future issues with the parotid gland as a result of this surgery. There are inherent risks with surgery, and the doctor has made every effort to avoid accidents.
