description Introduction: Understanding the pathophysiology, clinical characteristics, and postoperative complications of parotid tumors is crucial in light of the growing emphasis on the occurrence and development of parotid tumor disease. Materials and methods: The study population consisted of 387 cases of primary parotid tumors treated surgically at our institution between July 2015 and November 2020. We statistically analyzed the gender, age, and pathological findings of patients, 307 of whom underwent postoperative return visits and were included in the study of postoperative complications. Results: The ratio of male to female parotid tumor patients was 1.39:1, and the best possible age range was between 51 and 60 years. The percentage of benign to malignant tumors (342/45) was 7.6:1. Pleomorphic adenoma constituted the majority of benign tumors. Adenoid cystic carcinoma constituted the majority of malignant tumors.The sensory deficit of the auricle, salivary fistula, facial nerve paralysis, and Frey's syndrome were the most prevalent postoperative complications of parotid tumors. Conclusions: Our efforts should focus on active prevention and treating parotid tumor postoperative complications.
