Abstract
Salivary fistula is an uncommon parotid surgery complication. We report a case of prolonged postoperative salivary fistula. Minocycline injection effectively prevented severe complications in refractory salivary fistula. Minocycline has been used in sclerotherapy for chylous fistula following neck dissection, thyroid cyst, parathyroid cyst, etc, and found to be useful in preventing prolonged complications.
