To review the existing techniques for minor salivary gland biopsy (MSGB) in the lip and to suggest a new approach to ease the procedure and reduce post-operative complications.
A comprehensive literature review and a descriptive study of a new surgical technique.
Diverse incisions have been suggested for MSGB with different designs (ellipse, circular, linear), different directions (parallel, oblique, vertical) and a wide range of lengths (from 1 mm up to 3 cm), but no comparative studies supporting the advantages of a particular type of incision over the others could be retrieved. A variety of features of the existing techniques for MSGB are linked to undesired events and surgical complications which could be minimized by modifying certain aspects of these procedures. The technique described, together with the use of the S forceps, represents a significant improvement over the already described chalazion forceps because it allows for a better access and positioning of the lower lip, improves the ergonomic conditions of the assistant, and facilitates the identification of lip areas with more superficial gland lobules.
The suggested approach for lip MSGB includes a specifically designed instrument whose performance during lip biopsy may contribute to minimize post-operative complications.
综述唇腺活检（MSGB）的现有技术，并提出一种新的方法以简化手术过程并减少术后并发症。
全面的文献回顾和新手术技术的描述性研究。
对于 MSGB，已经提出了多种不同设计（椭圆形、圆形、线性）、不同方向（平行、斜向、垂直）和不同长度（从 1 毫米到 3 厘米）的切口，但没有检索到支持特定类型切口优于其他切口的优势的比较研究。MSGB 现有技术的各种特点与不良事件和手术并发症相关，通过修改这些手术的某些方面，可以将这些并发症最小化。所描述的技术与 S 镊子一起使用，与已经描述的睑板腺切开镊相比有了显著的改进，因为它可以更好地进入和定位下唇，改善助手的人体工程学条件，并有助于识别具有更浅表腺小叶的唇部区域。
建议的唇 MSGB 方法包括一种专门设计的仪器，其在唇活检过程中的表现可能有助于减少术后并发症。
