Surgical resection is the main treatment for benign parotid tumors. The modiffed "S"-shaped Blair incision is widely used in clinical practice due to sufficient exposure of the surgical field and ease of operation, but it is prone to leaving obvious facial and cervical scars after surgery. In addition, extensive dissection is required during the operation, leading to a higher risk of complications such as temporary facial paralysis, periauricular numbness and Frey syndrome. With the continuous improvement of patients' demands for facial aesthetics and the development of minimally invasive surgical technology, the design of surgical approaches for benign parotid tumor resection has been continuously explored and optimized. Various endoscope-assisted minimally invasive incisions have obvious advantages in improving aesthetic effect, reducing complications and enhancing patient satisfaction. This paper systematically reviews the types, clinical characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of minimally invasive incisions for endoscope-assisted resection of benign parotid tumors, aiming to provide a certain reference for clinical surgical approach selection.
