Résumé
Surgical removal of the submandibular gland is indicated for different conditions affecting the gland, such as neoplasm, sialadenitis, and sialolithiasis, and different types of surgical approaches have been reported. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the differences between the postauricular approach and conventional transcervical approach in submandibular gland excision. A systematic review was performed using PubMed, Embase and the Cochrane Library to identify studies comparing outcomes of submandibular gland surgery via the postauricular approach and conventional transcervical approach. The data of interest were analyzed with Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software (version 3; Biostat, Englewood, NJ). 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. The results show that the postauricular incision is a feasible approach to access the submandibular gland, and compared with the conventional transcervical approach, it requires a longer operative duration but has a similar complication rate and yields better cosmetic outcomes.
