- Abstract
The routine use of neck drain in parotidectomy is common practice, however, its benefit remains controversial. However, there is no clear evidence that neck drains significantly improve patient outcome in head and neck operations.[[1]] Percutaneous neck drains in parotid surgery often precluded patients from being discharged on the same day, rendering parotidectomy an inpatient procedure in most units in the UK.
