To report the surgical details and results of our technique of Transmasseteric antero-parotid approach (TMAP) through modified preauricular lazy ‘S’ incision for management of mandibular condylar fractures. This was an observational analysis of 65 patients where 25 patients were treated with conventional preauricular approach, 25 patients with closed reduction and 15 patients with a mean age of 29.4 years with condylar fractures were treated by TMAP technique between September 2016 to June 2018. Aim of the study was to evaluate the proficiency of TMAP approach for open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of condylar fracture. The only complication which was noticed was sialocele formation and managed by drainage. TMAP is versatile since it avoids facial nerve damage as it involves identification and preservation of facial nerve and   has less chances of post-operative complications related to facial nerve injury. The accessibility achieved by this approach is fair enough to facilitate anatomic reduction and fixation of condyle.
