title: [Short- and long-term results of parotidectomy, apropos of 24 cases at the Ougadougou University Hospital Center].
abstract: We reported the short and medium results of the 24 parodectomies performed at the ORL Department of the NHC of Ouagadougou between 1985 and 1993 in order to assess the frequency of the complications and to search for their causes. It is a retrospective study on 15 women and 9 men aging between 14 to 56 years. The research for the VII has been always done at the trunk. In the absence of an extemporan histological test, 3 exofacial parotidectomies have been performed for slight injuries of the superficial ear-lobe, 2 total parotidectomies in the other cases. All our sick persons have a 3-years recession. We registered: 1 case of post surgery haemorrhagia (4%) 2 cases of additional infection (8%) 3 cases of facial paralysis that are recessive or not (12.5%) 6 cases with Frei syndrome (25%). Multiple factors can explain the profile that follows surgery of our sick-persons. We insist on the fact that there is minimum specialist that are used to this kind of surgery and to the smallest of the technical board. Complications and after effects after-parotidectomy were in our view almost frequent in our conditions of work. It is true that it is a delicate surgery, but the after effects can be better improved by additional specialist in ORL and with an adequate equipment.
