Abstract

Objective:To analysis the data of the patients with parotid tumors, clarify the contributing factors of Frey syndrome, and to evaluate the role of soft tissues membrane SIS in prevention of Frey syndrome after parotidectomy. Method:The data of 95 patients who suffered from parotid tumors and underwent parotidectomy were included in this study. The relationship between the patients' age, sex, tumor location ,tumor size, disease pathology, type of resection, SIS application and the incidence of Frey syndrome were statistically analyzed . Result:The incidence of Frey syndrome after parotidectomy for 95 patients was 25.3%. Age, sex, tumor location and size, disease pathology, type of resection did not appear to be associated with development of Frey syndrome(P>0.05). SIS application was the only statistically significant factor(P<0.01), and SIS could prevent Frey syndrome after parotidectomy. Conclusion:Frey syndrome is one of the common complicationsafter parotidectomy. Implantation of SIS is an effective method for prevention of Frey syndrome after parotidectomy.
