[Application of modified facelift incision in parotid gland surgery].

Objective

To explore the safety and aesthetic effect of modified facelift incision in parotidectomy for benign parotid tumors.

Methods

By prospective study, 63 patients with benign parotid tumor were randomly divided into experimental group and control group. The experimental group underwent modified facelift incision（MFI）, while the control group underwent Blair incision（BI）. The operation time, bleeding volume, total postoperative drainage, length of postoperative hospital stay, postoperative complications and aesthetic satisfaction of the two groups were counted and evaluated.

Results

There were no statistically significant differences in the operative time, bleeding volume, total postoperative drainage, length of postoperative hospital stay, postoperative complications between the two group（P>0.05）. In terms of aesthetic satisfaction, the experimental group was significantly better than the control group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant（P<0.05）.

Conclusion

Compared with the BI, the MFI has the same safety and higher aesthetic satisfaction, which has positive significance in cosmetology.
