Summary

This study explored a new surgical method for partial submandibular gland removal using ultrasonic dissection. While the technique shows promise for aesthetic neck contouring, it did not significantly reduce postoperative complications compared to electrocautery.

Background:

Aesthetic concerns regarding the submandibular gland can be addressed through surgical resection.
This study introduces a novel technique for partial submandibular gland resection during deep neck or facelift procedures.

Observation:

The study compared ultrasonic dissection with standard electrocautery for submandibular gland resection.
Postoperative outcomes including neuropraxia, hematoma, seroma, and sialocele were analyzed.
A Sonicision ultrasonic dissector was used in the experimental group, while electrocautery was used in the control group.

Findings:

The control group (32 patients) had 1 hematoma, 3 seromas, 3 sialoceles, and 3 neuropraxias.
The experimental group (48 patients) experienced 2 seromas, with no hematomas, sialoceles, or neuropraxia.
No statistically significant association was found between ultrasonic dissection and reduced risk of complications.

Implications:

The novel technique for partial submandibular gland resection may enhance safety and efficacy.
Further research with larger sample sizes and controlled variables is needed to validate findings.
This approach offers potential for improved facial and neck aesthetics through targeted gland modification.
