Abstract
Conventional surgery via a transcervical incision is indicated for treating certain tumors in the head and neck. However, it can cause multiple problems, including scars and cosmetic issues. The endoscope-assisted hairline approach, which replaces conventional surgical procedures, is increasing in use due to excellent cosmetic and functional outcomes. However, given its complex anatomical intricacy, the endoscope-assisted hairline technique is not commonly used for head and neck surgery. The hairline surgical approach evolved with changing disease conditions and recent innovations in surgical instruments. This review article discusses endoscope-assisted hairline approaches for resecting head and neck masses as well as the surgical procedure and postoperative clinical outcomes.
