ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To provide surgical references for selecting appropriate parotidectomy incisions, reviewing modified approaches, incision designs, and associated complications.METHODS:
We have systematically searched 5 medical literature databases examining parotidectomy incision designs and postoperative complications from 2008 to 2021.RESULTS:
There are a total of 9 novel incision designs 1) posterior auricular hairline incision (PAHI); 2) combined preauricular and retroauricular incision (CPRI); 3) V-shaped incision (VI); 4) N-shaped incision (NI); 5) postaural incision (PI); 6) preauricular crutch incision (PCI); and 7) endaural incision (EI). Simultaneously, there are a total of 8 postoperative complications 1) infection; 2) salivary fistula; 3) facial nerve palsy/paresis; 4) ear lobule numbness; 5) Frey syndrome; 6) facial deformity; 7) hematoma; and 8) tumor reoccurrence.CONCLUSIONS:
Over the last decade, a surge in modified parotidectomy incisions has been witnessed in clinical practice. This expansion is attributed to rapid technical advancements and a deeper understanding of anatomy and histopathology. These modified approaches contribute significantly to improving cosmetic outcomes, minimizing associated complications, and enhancing patient satisfaction.
