Abstract:
Parotid fistulae are a very infrequent complication after ear reconstruction in microtia when the local conditions are favorable. We report 2 cases of salival fistulae after microtic ear reconstruction. Timing of the diagnosis is important to decide the treatment. We recommend conservative management by restricted citric diet in early postoperative salival fistulae and Botox injections in the case that it persists.
