Données actuelles et perspectives en chirurgie cervicale mini-invasive vidéo-assistée : exemple de l'exploration de la région submandibulaire par voie endoscopique

The purpose of this study was to review the current status of research in this field and to describe the endoscopic technique for resection of the submandibular gland: a 15-mm incision is sufficient for the endoscopic material and gland resection without insufflation. The wound is minimal and the dissection is not traumatic. This innovating technique enables a magnified view of the structures providing an excellent teaching method.
