An abdominal dermal fat graft was less commonly performed for patients who underwent SDLP than those who underwent total parotidectomy (2 of 177 [1%] vs 20 of 96 [21%]; difference, \u221220% [95% CI, \u221228% to \u221211%]). The rate of great auricular nerve preservation was higher in the SDLP group than in the total parotidectomy group (84 of 102 [82%] vs 20 of 34 [59%]; difference, 24% [95% CI, 5%-42%]). No meaningful difference in length of hospital stay was found. The percentage of patients with House-Brackmann grade I immediately after surgery was 48% (85 of 177) in the SDLP group and 21% (20 of 96) in the total parotidectomy group (difference, 28% [95% CI, 16%-40%]). There were no clinically meaningful differences in rates of hematoma, sialocele, seroma, ear numbness, wound infection, or unplanned return to emergency department or operating room. The SDLP group reported a lower rate of Frey syndrome than the total parotidectomy group (1 of 137 [1%] vs 12 of 78 [15%]; difference, \u221215% [95% CI, \u221223% to \u22127%]), as well as a lower rate of facial contour defect (28 of 162 [17%] vs 25 of 84 [30%]; difference, \u221213% [95% CI, \u221224% to \u22121%]) and a higher rate of first bite syndrome (34 of 148 [23%] vs 7 of 78 [9%]; difference, 14% [95% CI, 5%-23%]). The percentage of patients with House-Brackmann grade I at their first follow-up visit was 67% (118 of 177) in the SDLP group compared with 49% (47 of 96) in the total parotidectomy group (difference, 17% [95% CI, 4%-30%]).

Advantages associated with SDLP include reduction in need for reconstruction for facial contour defect and reduction in complications, such as immediate facial nerve weakness and Frey syndrome. The incidence of first bite syndrome was higher in the SDLP group. Tumor control was not compromised by
