Extracapsular dissection of benign parotid tumors using a retroauricular hairline incision approach
The American Journal of Surgery, 05/13/09

Roh JL - The parotid surgery commonly begins with a modified Blair or facelift incision. Although minor, the incision scar from these incisions is visible on the face and neck. I initially developed a retroauricular hairline incision for the removal of benign lesions in the upper neck with a more esthetic look. The RAHI approach also may be used for selected patients with benign parotid neoplasms. Mobile benign tumors arising in the inferior superficial part of the parotid gland may be removed by the RAHI approach without compromising surgical visualization.
