What is The Use of Bipolar Coagulation Forceps Prevented Salivary Fistula in Patients with Parotidectomy: a Retrospective Study about?

## Background Salivary fistula is a relatively common complication in patients who have undergone a parotidectomy. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of bipolar coagulation forceps use on salivary fistulas. ## Methods From March 2015 to June 2020, 177 patients who underwent a parotidectomy in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University were recruited. The patients were divided into an experimental group and a control group based on whether bipolar coagulation forceps or sutures were used, respectively. ## Results The drainage output of the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group (__p__ = 0.04). The duration of dressing pressure applied in the experimental group was significantly shorter than that in the control group (__p__ = 0.0003). Moreover, the incidence of salivary fistula in the experimental group (9.8%, 8/82) was notably lower than that in the control group (34.7%, 33/95) (__p__ < 0.0001). In the logistic regression model for salivary fistula development, both the use of bipolar coagulation forceps (__p__ = 0.0021) and drainage output (__p__ = 0.0237) were
