Abstract:
Objective:To explore the preventive function for sweating gustatory syndrome and esthetic effect of restoring parotid gland area defect by using platysma flap. Methods: Nine patients who underwent parotidectomy and restored parotid gland area defect with platysma flap were analyzed retrospectively in this study. Observed whether there was an incidence of subjective sweating gustatory syndrome and introcession in the operation region. Results: There was no incidence of subjective sweating gustatory syndrome. Moreover, introcession in the operation region was not obvious. Conclusion: Restoring parotid defects with platysma flap can reduce introcession in the operation region. Application of platysma flap as an interpositional barrier between the skin flap and the parotid bed after parotidectomy can reduce the incidence of sweating gustatory syndrome.
