Endoscopic submandibular gland resection is feasible in cadavers. This minimally invasive approach, using an endoscope through small incisions, proved successful with practice, reducing operative time and complications.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Innovation
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Head and Neck Surgery

Background:

  • Advancements in head and neck surgery include endoscopic and video-assisted minimally invasive techniques.
  • Submandibular gland diseases require surgical intervention, traditionally performed via open approaches.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the feasibility of endoscopic submandibular gland resection in human cadavers.
  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of this minimally invasive technique.

Main Methods:

  • Twelve endoscopic submandibular gland resections were performed on six human cadavers.
  • A 30-degree endoscope and instruments were inserted through two 15 mm submandibular incisions.
  • Anatomical structures including facial vessels, lingual nerve, and Wharton's duct were identified and protected.

Main Results:

  • Successful resection of the submandibular gland was achieved in all cases without additional incisions.
  • Initial procedures showed injuries to the facial artery and lingual nerve, which decreased with experience.
  • Operative time significantly reduced from 120 minutes initially to 35 minutes with practice.

Conclusions:

  • Endoscopic submandibular gland resection is a viable and achievable procedure.
  • Sufficient training and experience are crucial for minimizing operative time and complication rates.
  • This minimally invasive technique offers a promising alternative to traditional open surgery.
