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.展开更多
