This report outlines the treatment of an 82-year-old man with squamous cell carcinoma of the left cheek. The wide excision and simultaneous superficial parotidectomy were planned. Various incision methods have been widely introduced such as retroauricular hairline incision, modified Blair incision, or face-lift incision. For coverage of preauricular skin defect and parotidectomy, we modified retroauricular hairline incision that the end of the incision was bent to make transposition flap. The operation has been successfully finished using this extension of a retroauricular hairline incision.

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).

Electronic address:

Background: Resection of deep lobe benign tumors of parotid requires the preservation of facial nerve and other important structures, which is closely related to the refinement of surgical operations and the aesthetics of facial incisions. The Da Vinci robotic surgical operating system is more conducive to improving treatment effects. Combined with the hairline incision behind the ear, the surgical method can be explored for both aesthetic and curative effect.

To investigate the clinical effect of retroauricular hairline approach in submandibular gland resection assisted by endoscope. A total of 18 patients with submandibular gland benign tumors treated in our hospital from September 2022 to September 2023 were selected. A 5 cm incision was designed in the retroauricular hairline, and the flap was turned over directly to the anterior edge of sternocleidomastoid muscle, then the flap was turned over to build the cavity through endoscopic surgery, and submandibular gland resection was completed with the assistance of endoscope.
