Surgical treatment is the preferred treatment choice nowadays and the article aims to describe different variations of the retromandibular approach with their surgical outcome based on experience. A total of 15 cases were managed with the retromandibular approach and its different variations. We advocate retromandibular approach for the management of condyle fractures, and among which retromandibular retroparotid and retromandibular anteroparotid provide best accessiblity with less bleeding and minimal risk of injury to the facial nerve.
