[Modified rhytidectomy incision and modified Blair incision contrast research in superficial parotid gland tumor resection].

Evaluate the application value of modified rhytidectomy incision in superficial parotid gland tumor resection.Seventy-one patients with tumor in the superficial parotid were included in this study from January 2012 to January 2015. They all accepted superficial parotidectomy or subtotal superficial parotidectomy. Thirty-six cases used modified rhytidectomy incision and 35 cases used modified blair incision. The data of operative field exposure, operating time, bleeding, the rate of complication, score of patients's satisfaction were recorded and compared between the two groups.There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in the operative field exposure, operating time and bleeding ( > 0.05). No difference was found between the two groups in the rate of facioplegia, while the rate of insensible earlobe in the modified rhytidectomy incision group was significantly lower than the modified blair incision group ( < 0.05). The score of patient's satisfaction in the modified rhytidectomy incision group was significantly higher than the other group ( < 0.05).The modified rhytidectomy incision provides good exposure and has the advantage of less complication and better cosmetic outcome. It is worthy of wide clinical application.
