Surgery of the parotid region: A new approach

Omega incision face-lift approach and SMAS rotation advancement flap in parotidectomy for prevention of contour deficiency and conspicuous scars affecting the neck

“…The omega face-lift incision approach for parotidectomy allows, like the bayonet-incision, very good exposure not only of the parotid area itself but also in the submandibular region and over the sterncleidomastoideus muscle, similar to the case of the incision described by FERRERIA et al 8 It obtains good also exposure of all divisions of the facial branches. This type of incision should be placed along anatomic interfaces 8,14 and improves the aesthetic results in that it lacks the anterior horizontal temporal incision line and improves access to the anterior portion of the parotid gland, thus improving the aesthetic results.…”

Minor Parotidectomy Complications: A Systematic Review

“…Scarring issues were reported in 46 studies 6,19,20,27,34,36,37,41,55,58,59,62–66,73,83,87,90,91,100,107,110,114,116,125,135,136,140,149,152,160,184,194,195,198,210,218–226 reporting on 5,758 patients (Table I and Fig. 2F).…”

“…Salivary fistula was reported in 137 studies 6–10,12,14–16,18–24,27,28,30–34,36,38–40,43–45,47,49,51,52,55,56,58,62–65,75,76,79,84–87,89,91,93,97–99,101,103–109,112,114–119,124–127,129,131–133,136,138,139,141,144,148–150,153,154,156,164,166,170–215 reporting on 18,815 patients (Table I and Fig. 2D).…”

Modification of Blair Approach With a Modified Endaural Component to Access the Parotid Region

“…Because the temporal extension of the incision restricts the access, Ferrería et al 3 proposed the extension of the cervical limb of the incision, keeping it running 1 cm within the hairline. Afterward, modified versions of the facelift incision was reported by several authors.…”
