Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Plastic Surgery

Background:

  • Parotid gland neoplasms require surgical intervention, often necessitating incisions that can impact aesthetic results.
  • Traditional surgical approaches for parotidectomy may lead to visible scarring and patient dissatisfaction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and aesthetic outcomes of a modified cervicofacial incision in parotid surgery.
  • To present the results of using a modified Bailey incision for parotidectomy in a large patient cohort.

Main Methods:

  • A case series of 155 consecutive patients undergoing parotidectomy (partial or total) using the modified cervicofacial incision.
  • Surgical procedures focused on tumor removal, facial nerve identification, and assessment of the need for incision extension.

Main Results:

  • The modified incision provided adequate exposure for complete tumor removal in all cases.
  • Facial nerve delineation and tumor delivery were consistently achieved without difficulty.
  • No additional skin incision extensions were required, and all patients reported favorable aesthetic results.

Conclusions:

  • The modified cervicofacial incision is an effective and aesthetically superior option for parotid gland tumor surgery.
  • This technique facilitates excellent surgical visualization and nerve preservation while minimizing cosmetic impact.
