Area of Science:

  • Surgical Oncology
  • Otolaryngology
  • Plastic Surgery

Background:

  • Traditional parotidectomy incisions have evolved to enhance aesthetics and reduce complications.
  • Minimally invasive techniques aim to improve patient outcomes in parotid gland surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of a novel mini-incision parotidectomy technique.
  • To assess surgical results, complications, and quality of life (QOL) associated with the mini-incision approach.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective case series of 20 patients undergoing mini-incision parotidectomy over two years.
  • Surgical outcomes assessed by lesion level, facial nerve function, seroma, and Frey's syndrome.
  • Quality of life evaluated using pain, comfort, and cosmetic scores (NRS-11).

Main Results:

  • The mini-incision technique was feasible for all parotid levels without needing incision extension.
  • Temporary facial palsy occurred in 10% (resolving within 3 weeks), and permanent palsy in 5% (adenoid cystic carcinoma).
  • Seroma (10%) and Frey's syndrome (5%) were observed; high patient comfort (9/10) and cosmetic (9.5/10) scores were reported.

Conclusions:

  • Mini-incision parotidectomy is a viable technique offering excellent functional and aesthetic results.
  • This approach achieves complete disease clearance while minimizing complications and enhancing patient-reported outcomes.
  • The technique represents an improvement over traditional methods for parotid gland tumor management.
