Abstract: Neck dissection and reconstruction are two important aspects of oral cancer treatment.There are various surgical methods for neck dissection and reconstruction,but all of them are performed by open surgery.This article reports a full endoscopic neck dis-section through the retroauricular hairline approach,the radical resection of the intraoral tumor and the repair of the defect by superfi-cial circumflex iliac artery perforator flap with in situ vascular anastomosis intraorally.The incision is located in the hairline,hidden and invisible,and there is no exposed surgical scar on the neck after surgery.This paper introduces the technique of scarless neck dissection combined with free skin flap repair for the treatment of oral cancer and discusses its advantages and disadvantages.
