Patient and Surgeon-Reported Satisfaction With Reconstruction Following Superficial Parotidectomy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

(1) Assess current methods for the collection of patient- and surgeon-reported outcomes after superficial parotidectomy reconstruction. (2) Determine which post-parotidectomy reconstructive method provides the highest degree of patient satisfaction.

Methods

PRISMA guidelines were followed for article identification and selection. A total of 17 peer-reviewed articles including 898 patients were included in the study. Outcome data was mathematically harmonized across studies to allow statistical analysis. Random effects meta-analysis of proportions was performed.
