초록
Once a submasseteric space infection is diagnosed, the key to resolving the infection is via surgical intervention to evacuate the pus. Although it is pos-sible and occasionally practical to drain the submasseteric space via an intraoral approach, an extraoral approach may sometimes be required. Surgeons have encountered complications such as facial nerve damage during extraoral incision and drainage procedures, and they have felt that extraoral dissec-tion was very difficult. As such, an easier and simpler technique is needed. Our department recently modified various drainage techniques for submas-seteric space abscesses. Damage to the marginal branch of the facial nerve did not occur, and this technique was very simple and rapid, such that a nov-ice physician could perform this procedure. This modified technique was possible with trismus and under local anesthesia. After intraorally checking the position of the drain, the intraoral wound is closed with an absorbable suture and the drain is fixed to the extraoral skin. When a masseteric space infection is diagnosed, multiple space involvement is ruled out, and dependent drainage is required, this modified drainage technique can be useful.
Abstract
Once a submasseteric space infection is diagnosed, the key to resolving the infection is via surgical intervention to evacuate the pus.

Damage to the marginal branch of the facial nerve did not occur, and this technique was very simple and rapid, such that a nov-ice physician could perform this procedure. This modified technique was possible with trismus and under local anesthesia.
