AbstractIn the Video S1, a modified technique for submandibular gland resection in benign disease is shown. The main plane of dissection is below the fascia and immediately superficial to the fibrous capsule of the gland. The video shows the surgical steps and the structures that become evident along the procedure and illustrates some tips and tricks. Facial vessels are dissected, easily spared, and not ligated as it occurs in the classical technique. This technical variant is minimally invasive, respectful of anatomy, and through preservation of the fascial layer investing the gland aims at reducing the risk of injury to the marginalis mandibulae branch of the facial nerve, which lies within the fascia itself.
