This study shows that using only a periauricular incision for parotid surgery offers excellent cosmetic results and high patient satisfaction. This approach is a viable alternative for treating various parotid gland diseases.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Oncology

Context:

  • Traditional parotid surgery often employs combined periauricular and cervical incisions.
  • Evaluating minimally invasive surgical techniques is crucial for improving patient outcomes and aesthetics.

Purpose:

  • To assess the efficacy and aesthetic outcomes of using a solely periauricular incision for parotidectomy.
  • To compare complication rates associated with the periauricular approach versus traditional methods.

Summary:

  • 36 patients with parotid tumors underwent parotidectomy exclusively via a periauricular incision.
  • The study documented tumor removal, complication rates (hypoesthesia, facial weakness, infection), and patient satisfaction with scar appearance.
  • Carcinoma cases requiring lymphadenectomy utilized an additional cervical incision, while primary closure minimized scarring.
