Abstract: Objective: To observe and evaluate the effect of small intestinal submucosa in preventing Frey's syndrome after surgery of parotid benign tumor. Methods: A total of 63 patients with benign parotid tumors were divided to two groups according to their inclination. The observation group used small intestinal submucosa after surgery while control group did not. There were 32 cases in the observation group and 31 cases in the control group. All cases were followed up 6 to 18 months after surgery to analyze the occurrence of Frey's syndrome and foreign body feeling. The occurrence of Frey's syndrome was evaluated by subjectively and objectively ways. Results: Positive rates of subjective evaluation were 0% in the observation group and 19.35% in the control group, and the positive rates of objective evaluation in two groups were 3.13% and 48.39%, respectively. The observation group was superior to the control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the foreign body sensation between two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: Using small intestinal submucosa patch in parotid benign tumor can effectively prevent the occurrence of Frey's syndrome after surgery, which is simple, comfortable and worthy of spread.
