title: Use of 2-Octyl-Cyanoacrylate in surgical closing of Postparotidectomy salivary fistulas.
abstract: A salivary fistula is one of possible postoperative complications in the surgery of parotid gland tumors. We present three cases of postparotidectomy salivary fistulas, successfully treated by surgical access using 2-octyl-cyanoacrylate while closing the skin layer. The previous treatment of these cases by other therapeutic options did not give satisfactory results. In a 5-year follow-up period there were no signs of fistulas relapses. The surgical access with use of 2-octyl cyanoacrylate can be one of therapeutic options for the closing of postparotidectomy salivary fistulas, especially in cases where other therapeutic accesses are not successful.
