title: [The clinical study of complete remaining parotid fascia in parotidectomy].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To introduce a new method of complete remaining parotid fascia in parotidectomy, preventing Frey's syndrome.
  
  
  METHODS
  Thirty-five patients with benign tumor in the parotid gland were treated by remaining parotid fascia. All 35 patients were followed up after 6 months to 24 months.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The parotid fasciae of 26 out of 35 were remained completely and none of these 26 patients developed Frey's syndrome. The parotid fasciae of 9 out of 35 were excised partly and Frey's syndrome occurred in 2 of these 9 patients. There was significant difference of Frey's syndrome between the parotid fasciae being remained completely and the parotid fasciae being remained partly.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The parotid fascia could be reserved completely in parotidectomy. The complete parotid fascia could prevent Frey's syndrome in the patients after undergoing parotidectomy.
