ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of endoscope-assisted postauricular small incision resection on benign parotid tumors. MethodsNinety-two patients with benign parotid tumors were randomly divided into observation group (46 cases) and control group (46 cases). The control group underwent tumor resection using traditional “S”-shape incision approach, while the observation group underwent tumor resection using endoscope-assisted postauricular small incision. The surgical effect and prognosis of the two groups were observed. ResultsThe operation duration, incision length, intraoperative bleeding volume, postoperative drainage volume, and hospital stay in the observation group were less or shorter than those in the control group (all P＜0.05). In the postoperative follow-up, compared to the control group, patients in the observation group obtained a significantly higher total satisfaction rate with appearance (93.48% vs. 76.09%), and a significant lower incidence rate of postoperative complications (4.35% vs. 21.74%) (all P＜0.05). ConclusionFor patients with benign parotid tumors, endoscope-assisted postauricular small incision resection has prominent efficacy, high patients′ satisfaction rate with appearance and a low incidence rate of postoperative complications, which is worthy of promotion and application.
