Preservation of Parotid Masseter Fascia in Preventing Frey's Syndrome

Objective: To compare the functional outcomes of patients who had parotid masseter fascia reserved and unreserved flap elevating scheme in parotidectomy, especially the morbidity of Frey's syndrome. Methods: Twenty-three patients (group A) had parotid masseter fascia reserved in the parotidectomy, 32 patients (group B) had parotid masseter fascia unreserved in the operation. Compare the morbidity of gustatory sweating syndrome of the two groups. Results: Follow-up after 6 months to 2.5 years, gustatory sweating syndrome occurred in 4 patients of group A (17%), 17 patients in group B (57%). Conclusion: Reservation technic of the parotid masseter fascial in parotidectomy could prevent regeneration of parasympathetic nerve and thus prevent Frey's syndrome post-operation.

保留腮腺咬肌筋膜在预防Frey综合征中的应用

腮腺良性肿瘤目前仍以手术治疗为主,经典手术方法是保留面神经的腮腺浅叶或全叶加肿瘤切除术,但术后Frey综合征发生率较高,会造成严重后果,常给患者造成较大的精神痛苦,影响患者的生活质量。为探讨如何预防、减少腮腺肿瘤术后Frey综合征的发生,本研究采用保留腮腺咬肌筋膜关闭腺体创面,预防Frey综合征,效果满意。
