An expanded polytef (polytetrafluoroethylene [ePTFE]) soft-tissue patch was used in nine patients to reconstruct postparotidectomy defects and prevent Frey's syndrome. All nine cases were constructed primarily using either a 1- or 2-mm-thick patch depending on the depth of the defect. All nine patients achieved excellent, nearly normal contour that approximates the uninvolved side. None complained of Frey's syndrome. Average follow-up to date is 12 months.
