This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the differences between parotidectomy using a modified facelift incision (MFI) and parotidectomy using a modified Blair incision (MBI). A systematic search of the available literature in PubMed, Embase and the Cochrane Library was performed. Studies of adult patients who underwent open parotidectomy with presumed benign parotid neoplasms based on preoperative examinations were reviewed. The surgical outcomes of the MFI and MBI groups were collected. Intraoperative and postoperative parameters, including operative time, tumor size, cosmetic satisfaction, and incidences of facial palsy, Frey\u2019s syndrome and salivary complications, were compared. Dichotomous data and continuous data were analyzed by calculating the risk difference (RD) and the mean difference (MD) with the 95% confidence interval (CI), respectively. Seven studies were included in the final analysis. The pooled analysis demonstrated that the cosmetic satisfaction score was significantly higher in the MFI group (MD\u2009=\u20091.66; 95% CI 0.87\u20132.46). The operative duration in the MFI group was significantly longer than that in the MBI group (MD\u2009=\u20090.07; 95% CI 0.00\u20130.14). The MFI group exhibited a smaller tumor size (MD\u2009=\u2009\u2212\u20092.27; 95% CI \u2212\u20094.25 to \u2212\u20090.30) and a lower incidence of Frey\u2019s syndrome (RD\u2009=\u2009\u2212\u20090.18; 95% CI \u2212\u20090.27 to \u2212\u20090.10). The incidence of postoperative temporary facial palsy (RD\u2009=\u2009\u2212\u20090.05; 95% CI \u2212\u20090.12 to 0.03), permanent facial palsy (RD\u2009=\u2009\u2212\u20090.01; 95% CI \u2212\u20090.06 to 0.03) and salivary complications (RD\u2009=\u2009\u2212\u20090.00; 95% CI \u2212\u20090.05 to 0.05) was comparable between the two groups. Based on these results, MFI may be a feasible technique for improving the cosmetic results of patients who need parotidectomy when oncological safety can be ensured.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-021-03483-6","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,16]],"date-time":"2021-12-16T06:07:13Z","timestamp":1639634833000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["Systematic review and meta-analysis of modified facelift incision versus modified Blair incision in parotidectomy"],"prefix":"10.1038","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Yi-Chan","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wei-Chih","family":"Liao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shih-Wei","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cheng-Ming","family":"Luo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yao-Te","family":"Tsai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ming-Shao","family":"Tsai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yi-Hsuan","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Li-Jen","family":"Hsin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,16]]},"reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"3483_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"419","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejrad.2008.01.027","volume":"66","author":"YY Lee","year":"2008","unstructured":"Lee, Y.
