[Long-term results of bilateral complete parotidectomy in Sjogren's syndrome].
After a delay of 7 to 21 years, bilateral parotidectomy with complete preservation of the facial nerves and myoplasty of the post-operative cavities for enlarged parotid glands due to Sjögren's syndrome was found to have been beneficial in 10 patients. Excellent results were obtained both in terms of aesthetic and psychic outcome, but also in terms of greatly improved general health. Patients' psychoaffective, familial, professional and social lifestyle had returned to normal.
