Does temporoparietal fascia flaps and superficial musculoaponeurotic system plication in parotid surgery reduce Frey 's syndrome?
Consideration should be given to the use of an interpositional layer of tissue between the facial nerve and the skin flap to reduce the incidence of Frey's syndrome after parotid gland surgery.
The magnitude of systemic inflammatory response, among the perioperative factors examined, may be an important determinant for adverse 2-year cognition and language outcomes after the Norwood procedure. Confirmatory studies in larger populations, including those undergoing other types of cardiac surgeries, are warranted.
