Key points:
- Fibrin sealant is biological glue which have been used in different
head and neck surgeries
- Drainless parotidectomy has been published in selected cases, yet has
been not adopted widely
- The current series includes both deep lobe tumors and revision cases
in a consecutive series of patients
- While decreasing length of stay and post-operative rates, no increase
in complications was noted
- Drainless parotidectomy using FS seems feasible even for complicated
parotid surgeries and should be considered by experienced head and
neck surgeons
