Abstract:
Objective To evaluate whether it can prevent Frey's syndrome by reserving parotid fascia or reconstructing parotid fascia with sternocleidomastoid muscle and remaining of parotid fascia in parotidectomy. Methods Fifty-two patients undergoing parotidectomy with maintained and reconstructed parotid fascia were followed up. A test of chewing vitamin C slice guidance and iodine-amylum pilot was conducted for observing the incidence of postoperative Frey's syndrome. Results Flush with perspires was found only in 5 out of the 52 patients (9.61%), which was lower than the incidence after traditional parotidectomy. Conclusion The method of reserving and reconstructing parotid fascia with sternocleidomastoid muscle and remaining of parotid fascia in parotidectomy can efficiently prevent Frey's syndrome, and can also repair the hollow abnormity of the face.
