Area of Science:

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

Background:

  • Submandibular sialoadenectomy is a common surgical procedure.
  • Traditional open techniques can result in visible scarring.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To detail an endoscopic approach for human submandibular gland removal.
  • To outline the necessary equipment, instrumentation, and relevant anatomy for this technique.

Main Methods:

  • Six endoscopic submandibular sialoadenectomies were performed on five patients.
  • A small neck incision (15-20 mm) was used for endoscopic camera and instrument insertion.

Main Results:

  • All surgeries were successful, with no need for conversion to open procedures.

  • Mean operative time was 65 minutes; patients were discharged postoperatively.
  • No complications such as hematoma, nerve injury, or infection were observed.
  • Mild edema resolved by 6 months, with high patient satisfaction regarding cosmetic outcomes.

    • Conclusions:

    • Endoscopic submandibular sialoadenectomy offers advantages like minimal scarring and enhanced visualization.
    • The technique provides nontraumatic dissection and improved magnification of anatomical structures.
