Article Abstract

Submandibular gland (SMG) excision via axillary is a brand new technique and we presented its own unique advantages compared with retroauricular and transoral approaches. The single-port (SP) robotic system offers improved visualization of the view and enhanced flexibility of instruments, ensuring optimal stability and dissection in this surgery. We reported the first case of transaxillary SMG excision using single-port robotic system made in China. A 26-year-old female patient presented with complaint of a painless mass in submandibular region. Ultrasound and computed tomography showed a lesion in submandibular gland. We performed single-port transaxillary robotic SMG excision without any complications. The present case suggests that SMG excision via transaxillary approach is technically feasible and safe with the SP robotic system; however, further exploration and research are needed.

Background: Submandibular gland (SMG) excision is traditionally performed using a transcervical approach, which, although effective, carries risks such as visible neck scarring and nerve complications. The transoral approach presents a cosmetically favorable alternative, yet its adoption remains limited. This case series was done to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and complication profile of the transoral approach for SMG excision in patients with benign pathologies.

Introduction: Submandibular gland (SMG) excision can be achieved by conventional approach (Conv) through a cervical incision or endoscopic surgery (Endo). The aim of this study was to propose a new concept and technique of full endoscopic SMG excision through the retroauricular hairline incision and investigate its safety and feasibility.

Materials And Methods: A total of 141 patients with SMG diseases treated at our department from 2021 to 2024 were retrospectively enrolled in the Endo group (n = 74) and the Conv group (n = 67).

Introduction Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) not only affects the pancreas directly involved in glucose metabolism but also impairs salivary gland function. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a gastrointestinal hormone that lowers postprandial blood glucose levels by stimulating insulin secretion from the pancreas. Previous studies have revealed the presence of GLP-1 receptors (GLP-1R) in salivary glands.

Background: Keloids, characterized by protruding scars that extend beyond the original skin damage site, cause significant emotional stress and reduced quality of life. Their exact pathogenesis remains unclear, with various hypotheses including growth factor imbalances and extracellular matrix changes. No single treatment is universally accepted, but multiple modalities like triamcinolone acetonide injection (TAC), laser therapies, and surgery are commonly used.
