Endoscopic transoral approach to accessory parotid tumors-an updated approach and literature review.

Background: Transoral endoscopic resection is an updated treatment of accessory parotid gland tumors. The aim of this study was to present the endoscopic transoral resection surgical technique and clinical outcomes of accessory parotid tumors.

Methods: Articles on endoscopic transoral approach for accessory parotid tumors were searched in PubMed, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Web of Science databases.

Full endoscopic submandibular gland excision through the retroauricular hairline approach: A cohort study.

Introduction: Submandibular gland (SMG) excision can be achieved by conventional approach (Conv) through a cervical incision or endoscopic surgery (Endo). The aim of this study was to propose a new concept and technique of full endoscopic SMG excision through the retroauricular hairline incision and investigate its safety and feasibility.

Materials And Methods: A total of 141 patients with SMG diseases treated at our department from 2021 to 2024 were retrospectively enrolled in the Endo group (n = 74) and the Conv group (n = 67).

Endoscope-assisted transoral procedure of accessory parotid gland tumor resection.

In the present study, we presented the detailed procedure and experience of endoscope-assisted transoral procedure of accessory parotid gland (APG) tumor resection. The surgical steps and tips were described and summarized clearly in our video. Laryngoscope, 135:1423-1426, 2025.

Evaluation of a newly developed oral and maxillofacial surgical robotic platform (KD-SR-01) in head and neck surgery: a preclinical trial in porcine models.

Traditional open head and neck surgery often leaves permanent scars, significantly affecting appearance. The emergence of surgical robots has introduced a new era for minimally invasive surgery. However, the complex anatomy of the head and neck region, particularly the oral and maxillofacial areas, combined with the high costs associated with established systems such as the da Vinci, has limited the widespread adoption of surgical robots in this field.
