Abstract:

Objective

To evaluate the feasibility of performing endoscope-assisted extracapsular dissections of benign parotid tumors using a single cephaloauricular furrow incision.

Methods

Sixty patients with benign parotid superficial lobe tumors were randomly divided into two groups: an endoscope-assisted (27 patients) group and conventional (33 patients) surgery group. Perioperative and post-operative outcomes of the patients were evaluated, including the maximum diameter of the tumors, length of the incision, operating time, estimated blood loss during the operation, amount and duration of drainage, satisfaction scores based on the cosmetic results, perioperative complications, and follow-up information.

Results

The diameters of the tumors were comparable between the groups (t= 0.253, P= 0.234) , and all operations were successfully performed as planned. The mean length of the incision in the endoscope-assisted group (3.5 ± 0.4) cm was significantly shorter than the conventional group (9.0 ± 1.7) cm (t= 16.645, P<0.001) . Meanwhile, the intraoperative blood loss (t= 16.028, P<0.001) , amount of drainage (t= 6.499, P= 0.003) , perioperative complications (χ2= 4.423, P= 0.035) and cosmetic outcomes (t= 16.285, P<0.001) were all improved in the endoscope-assisted group (P<0.05) . No tumor recurrence was found during 10-40 months of follow-up. Student′s t tests and chi-squared tests were used for the comparisons between the two groups. Statistical analyses were performed using the SPSS 18.0 package, and a P-value of <0.05 was considered to indicate statistical significance.

Conclusions

Cephaloauricular furrow incisions were totally and naturally hidden in this procedure. Endoscope-assisted extracapsular dissections of benign parotid tumors via a small cephaloauricular furrow incision was found to be feasible and reliable, providing a minimally invasive approach and a satisfactory appearance.
