What is Endoscopic resection of the submandibular gland via a hairline incision: A new surgical approach about?

## Abstract ## Objectives/Hypothesis: Submandibular gland excision is traditionally performed by the transcervical approach. To avoid or reduce visible scarring and nerve injury, diverse innovative surgical trials have been reported. Here we report a patient who had an endoscopic submandibular gland resection via a hairline incision. ## Methods: A 36‐year‐old woman presented with a right submandibular gland tumor that was found on a routine check‐up. The submandibular gland was resected under endoscopic assistance via a posterior hairline incision using an ultrasonic scalpel. ## Results: The resection was successful, causing no acute complications, such as neural injury, hematoma, or seroma formation. The incision scar healed with an excellent cosmetic result. ## Conclusions: Endoscopic submandibular gland resection via a hairline incision was feasible and resulted in an excellent surgical and cosmetic outcome.
