Day case superficial parotidectomy is feasible and safe, with an 81% success rate. Late finishes and anesthetic issues were primary reasons for admission, not surgical complications.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Superficial parotidectomy is a common surgical procedure.
  • Day case surgery aims to improve efficiency and reduce healthcare costs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility, safety, and readmission rates of day case superficial parotidectomy.
  • To identify reasons for failure in same-day discharge.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 91 superficial parotidectomies performed with day case intent.
  • Analysis of reasons for admission, postoperative complications, and readmissions.
  • Standardized surgical approach including a 4-hour drain removal protocol.

Main Results:

  • 81% day case success rate (17 of 91 patients admitted).

  • Most admissions (47%) due to late surgical finish; 25% due to anesthetic complications.
  • Surgical complications were rare causes for admission.

    • Conclusions:

    • Day case superficial parotidectomy is feasible, safe, and has acceptable readmission rates.
    • Late surgical finish is the main barrier to same-day discharge.
    • Postoperative complication rates are comparable to literature standards.
