TOETSMVA showed a significant improvement compared to the TOETVA in operation time, hospital stay, number of resected lymph nodes, mandibular numbness, and return to normal diet but did not show a difference in drainage volume. However, TOETSMVA was better in cosmetic effect, drainage volume, satisfaction, and pain scores compared with COT. Further RCTs with larger sample size, multicentral, and longer follow-up are necessary to evaluate the limitations.
