Aim: In this article, we present an innovative technique by utilizing the investing layer of deep cervical fascia as a biological barrier following partial superficial parotidectomy. The aim is to prevent the onset of Frey's syndrome (FS) after parotidectomy.
Technique: Our article focuses on using the Superficial layer of deep cervical fascia [SLDCF] flap technique following partial superficial parotidectomy. This method aims to facilitate healing without complications and specifically works to prevent FS in post-parotidectomy patients.
Diagnosis: The case discussed in this study includes a benign salivary gland tumor confirmed by fine-needle aspiration cytology.
Outcome: The article showcases the effective use of a pioneering technique and provides an extensive review of Frey's syndrome, covering its occurrence, mechanisms, variations, and preventive measures.
Clinical Significance: Using the deep cervical fascia investing layer as a biological barrier after partial superficial parotidectomy shows promise in preventing FS in post-parotidectomy patients.Keywords:Frey Syndrome; Pleomorphic Adenoma; Post Operative Complications; Surgical Flaps
