The most common comorbidities were hypertension (48.6%), current smoking (40.5%), and anxiety (17.6%). Temporary facial nerve paresis occurred in 40.3% of patients by postoperative day one, with no cases of permanent facial nerve paresis. Frey's syndrome occurred in 9.0% and First Bite Syndrome (FBS) in 10.4% of tumor cases; a higher proportion of malignant cases experienced these complications in comparison to benign indications.
