Abstract:ObjectiveTo investigate the feasibility and curative effect of resection of deeplobe parotid pleomorphic adenoma via endoscopic transsubmandibular approach.MethodsThe surgical records and medical charts of 2 males and 5 females (age ranged from 36 to 65 years with a mean age of 47) diagnosed with pleomorphic adenoma of deeplobe parotid gland and operated via endoscopic transsubmandibular approach in our hospital between March 2016 and February 2019 were reviewed. As for the symptoms, 5 patients complained of throat indisposition, and the other 2 complained of chewing discomfort. Physical examination revealed bulge of lateral pharyngeal wall and soft palate at the affected?side in 6 patients.ResultsComplete removal of the tumor was achieved in all the 7 cases with the operative time from 1.5 h to 2.5 h. 6 patients were discharged without any complications such as parotid gland area swelling, facial palsy, coughing, hoarseness, breathing difficulty and dysphagia. Postoperative temporary facial palsy was observed in one patient and got improved after one month.All incisions healed at grade A. All patients had been followed up postoperatively for 6 to 38 months with an average of 20 months. Tumor recurrence occurred in none.ConclusionWith advantages of good safety, completeness and reservation of facial nerve function and protection of vital blood vessels and nerves, the simple endoscopic transsubmandibular approach is worth promoting in complete removal of deeplobe parotid pleomorphic adenoma.
