Abstract: Objective: To investigate the feasibility of a peri-auricle positioning method in designing aesthetic incision of parotidectomy. Methods: Eleven patients with parotid benign tumor from April 2011 to May 2013 in our hospital were included. Peri-auricle positioning method was used to design incision of parotidectomy with preservation of facial nerve and great auricular nerve. Factors taken into the follow-up study included the cosmetic effect of the incision and the clinical outcome. Results: All surgeries, including 9 superficial parotidectomy and 2 total parotidectomy, were carried out successfully. All patients were satisfied with the aesthetic effect and the clinical outcome of this approach. Conclusion: Peri-auricle positioning is a simple, practical method that can gain satisfactory aesthetic result in parotidectomy.
