“…This procedure sometimes results in an unsatisfactory transcervical scar and injury of the marginal mandibular branch of the facial nerve. To avoid visible scarring and neurological risks, several different surgical procedures have been introduced; a minimal skin incision [1], intraoral removal of the submandibular gland [2], a retroauricular approach [3], and endoscope assisted submandibular sialadenectomy (EASS) [4][5][6][7].…”

This study evaluated the benefits of a new approach, endoscopic resection of a submandibular gland through the face-lift approach. The study comprised the clinical trial of new procedure. Six submandibular sialadenectomies were carried out (4 women, 2 men; mean age 28 years) via the face-lift approach by endoscopy. All six submandibular gland resections were successfully performed endoscopically, and no conversion to conventional open resection was necessary. Five patients had a mixed tumor and one patient had sialadenitis. The procedures lasted 55-115 min (mean 74 min). No complications associated with the operation occurred, and the scar was almost invisible. Endoscope assisted submandibular sialadenectomy via the face-lift approach was safe and effective treatment of benign lesions. The main advantage of this procedure is that the operative scar is concealed by the hairline.

“…Because of these benefits, head and neck surgeons have performed this procedure by creating a working space in thyroidectomy, parathyroidectomy, selective neck dissection, submandibular gland dissection and nasopharyngeal angiofibroma, and the like. All these surgeries have resulted in patients satisfied with the results [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13].…”

With a good proof of indication gasless lifting techniques, video assisted endoscopical techniques and subcutaneous approaches with gas filling procedures are feasible in neck surgery. All methods depending on the surgeons' experience describe no significantly extended operation times, a better and faster wound-healing and an optimized cosmetic outcome, compared to open approaches. Surgeons should always be aware of the limitations of the minimal invasive techniques regarding the complications or modifications during neck dissection/thyroidectomy.
