    This study compares soft-tissue endoscopic surgery (SOFTES) and open surgery (OS) for vascular anomalies and benign tumors.

  • 2

    After propensity score matching, 150 patients were analyzed, revealing SOFTES had lower blood loss but longer operative duration than OS.

  • 3

    Major complications were absent in both groups, but SOFTES had a higher incidence of focal skin burns compared to OS.

  • 4

    Wound dehiscence and flap necrosis were significantly higher in the OS group, indicating better outcomes with SOFTES.

  • 5

    Endoscopic surgery is a safe and effective option for treating soft tissue lesions, offering advantages in clinical outcomes and reduced complications.
