“…14 In addition, several authors have reported the use of a retroauricular incision for robotic facelift thyroidectomies or benign neck mass excision with or without endoscopy. 6,15,16 In this study we used a postauricular facelift incision for selective neck dissection including levels I-III and found this allowed a clear and sufficient surgical view of levels I-III. Complete dissection of level IIB and high level IIA was also possible under direct vision without the da Vinci robot.…”

“…Additionally, the surgical flap aspect ratio was small, and the flap was thicker. Moreover, the thicker flap has a smaller risk for necrosis [5]. In the present study, there were no flap necrosis or postoperative color change cases.…”

“…Thus, the function of many parotid and cosmetic surgery scholars has been to develop new surgical techniques. Endoscopy has been used in thyroid [6], submandibular gland [7] and branchial cleft cyst surgeries [5]. The successful application of endoscopies during neck surgery made parotid endoscopic surgery possible.…”

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of an endoscope-assisted partial parotidectomy through a modified retroauricular incision. Patients and Methods: Thirty patients with benign parotid superficial lobe tumors with a diameter of 2.4 ± 0.5 cm, located in the anterior portion of the inferior auricular lobule, underwent an endoscope-assisted partial-superficial parotidectomy. A retrograde approach through a small skin incision was used. An additional 30 patients who underwent conventional surgeries were used as controls. The operation time, operative bleeding volume and subjective satisfaction with the incision scar were compared between the groups. Results: All operations were successfully performed. The endoscopic surgery duration (74.8 ± 15.7 min), bleeding volume (12.7 ± 3.9 ml) and incision length (4.8 ± 0.4 cm) differed between the groups (p = 0.001). The mean patient satisfaction score was 8.6 ± 1.2 in the endoscope-assisted surgery group and 5.4 ± 1.3 in the control group (p = 0.001). There were no tumor recurrences during the 9-36 months of follow-up. Conclusion: Endoscope-assisted partial-superficial parotidectomy via a modified retroauricular incision is a feasible method for the treatment of benign parotid superficial lobe tumors located in the anterior portion of the inferior auricular lobule. The main advantage of this procedure was that the small operative scars improved the cosmetic results.

“…They all resulted patient satisfaction. [16][17][18][19] Lin et al 9 reported the first endoscopeassisted parotidectomy with a 60-81-mm modified ''S''-incision, which, however, was still visible. In recent years, some researchers have developed the endoscope-assisted parotidectomy, with a more subtle incision for benign parotid disease.…”

Endoscopic resection through a cosmetic retroauricular incision with a water sac establishing operative space is a feasible method for treatment of benign parotid superficial lobe tumor. Its main advantages are that the small and concealed operative scars improved the cosmetic results, and it provided a novel method for establishing the operation working space that could reduce the operative trauma.

Endoscope-assisted versus conventional second branchial cleft cyst resection

Abstract: Endoscope-assisted second branchial cleft cyst resection via retroauricular approach is a feasible technique. This procedure may serve as an alternative approach that allows an invisible incision and better cosmetic results.
