Abstract

Background: Modified Blair incision is the classical incision for benign parotid lesions, it provides good surgical exposure, but it leaves a visible scar in the neck which bothers a wide range of patients, especially female and young patients. modified facelift incision is the new alternative approach for benign parotid lesions, it cosmetically better than the modified Blair incision because this incision is hidden behind the ear and in the hairline. Materials and Methods:This prospective clinical research comprised 16 individuals who had superficial parotidectomy for benign lesions. Group 1 = 8 patients had a modified facelift incision and Group 2 = 8 had a modified Blair incision. Variables included age, gender, histological diagnosis, operating time, and surgical exposure. The major outcomes were surgical complications and patient satisfaction. Descriptive statistics include mean, median, SD, ranges, frequencies, and proportions. Fisher's exact test compared frequencies, and student's t-test (independent two groups model) compared means P< 0.05 is significant. Results: There were no statistically significant differences in postoperative complications rates between the groups. Of modified blair incisions, 25.0% suffered seroma postoperatively versus12.5 % of modified facelift incisions. Of modified blair incisions, 12.5 % suffered gustatory sweating versus none following modified facelift incisions.
