Introduction: There has been a debate concerning the proper surgical treatment of benign parotid tumors during the last century, but the main argument remains whether to perform formal parotidectomy (superficial parotidectomy (SP) or total parotidectomy) or performing limited surgery (partial superficial parotidectomy (PSP)). Aim of the study: Reporting our experience in treating benign parotid tumors by either SP or PSP with a long follow-up duration (5 years). Patients and methods: All patients were managed by one form of parotidectomy; most had PSP (47 cases (64.38%)), while SP was done in 26 cases (35.62%). Results: Transient facial nerve palsy was significantly more frequent after superficial parotidectomy (23.08%; P =0.004) than after partial superficial parotidectomy (2.13%). Conclusion: PSP could be an important surgical technique in benign parotid tumors treatment with limited morbidity and recurrence rate.
