“…Meta-analysis for multiple techniques to prevent symptomatic Frey syndrome, positive starch-iodine test results, and contour deformity favored intervention with a cumulative odds ratio (OR) of 3 Conclusion: Meta-analysis of operative techniques to prevent symptomatic Frey syndrome, positive starchiodine test results, and facial asymmetry suggests that such methods are likely to reduce the incidence of these complications after parotidectomy.…”

“…3 This phenomenon is believed to be caused by the aberrant regrowth of parasympathetic nerve endings of the auriculotemporal nerve into sweat glands overlying the surgical bed. 3 Medical treatments, such as botulinum toxin injection or topical anticholinergics, have been used. Surgical methods rely on interposing a barrier between the regenerating nerve endings and the eccrine glands.…”

“…Its incidence in the literature has a great variability, probably because incidence rates are reported related to the presence of clinical symptoms or to objective testing. In any case, incidence rates are very high ranging from 0 to 63% with subjective testing and from 22 to 98% with objective testing [23].…”

Parapharyngeal space (PPS) tumors are rare and benign in 80% of cases. Since surgeons first resected this anatomical region, the surgical approach to PPS bulks has been a hot topic due to their shape and the important structures involved. We present a series of patients treated with a transcervical or transcervical-transparotid approach to benign PPS tumors without mandibulotomy. Between May 2003 and March 2009, 18 patients (11 male and 7 female) with benign PPS tumors underwent a surgical resection, avoiding mandibulotomy. Average age of the patients was 49 years (range 3-76), average tumor size was 5.5 × 4 × 3 cm and histological examination of the resected tumors showed: seven pleomorphic adenomas of the deep parotid lobe, four schwannomas, two mycobacteriosis, two paragangliomas of the vagus nerve, one lipoma, one neurofibroma and one cavernous hemangioma. Seven patients underwent a transcervical approach, while 11 patients underwent a transcervical-transparotid approach. Excision of benign PPS tumors is possible without mandibulotomy even in the case of a large tumor mass, but exposure with the mandible in situ is certainly poor. Avoiding mandibulotomy reduces patient morbidity and hospital stay. In our experience, mandibulotomy can be avoided in most cases of benign PPS tumors leaving this procedure for malignant tumors or in patients with very poor exposure

“…Avec le temps, les étiologies responsables de cette activation aberrante lors de l'alimentation de la thermorégulation d'une partie de la face se sont multipliées (Tableau 1) [5,6]. La chirurgie de la glande parotide reste cependant l'étiologie la plus fréquente avec une incidence de survenue qui varie de 18 à 100 % en fonction des séries, du recul, du geste chirurgical réalisé et des modalités de la recherche de ce syndrome [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15].…”
