Abstract: The facial deformity and the gustatory sweating syndrome (Frey syndrome) are common complications following parotidectomy. The previous studies mostly emphasize on the repair of smaller defects (tumors less than 3 cm) and the prevention of Frey syndrome after parotidectomy, but do not consider the comprehensive prevention. Recently, many scholars conducted a series of studies on the comprehensive prevention and treatment, especially in the large defect (tumors 3-5 cm) after parotidectomy. In order to restore the facial deformity and prevent Frey syndrome, this article makes a summary on this.

Key words: Parotid tumors, Gustatory sweating syndrome, Frey syndrome, Facial deformity, Comprehensive prevention
