The most common diagnoses were 87 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(40.7%); pleomorphic adenomas and 48 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(22.4%); Wharton tumors. The most prevalent malignant tumors were reported as 18 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(8.1%); mucoepidermoid carcinoma. The main type of surgery was superficial parotidectomy, performed in 192 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(90%); patients. Facial paralysis was observed in 11 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(5.1%); patients as the main postoperative complication.
