Area of Science:

Minimally Invasive Surgery
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
Neurosurgery

Background:

Endoscopic surgery, utilizing small incisions, achieves outcomes equivalent or superior to conventional methods.
The technique is well-established in laparoscopic cholecystectomy and has expanded into aesthetic plastic surgery procedures.
Endoscopic approaches are increasingly adopted for reconstructive purposes due to enhanced visualization.

Observation:

The endoscope offers superior magnification and illumination of the surgical field.
Endoscopic techniques have been successfully applied in aesthetic procedures like face-lifts and breast reconstruction.
This case involves a patient with post-traumatic entrapment of the right supraorbital nerve.

Findings:

Endoscopic surgery provides excellent visualization for complex procedures.
The supraorbital nerve entrapment was successfully released using an endoscopic approach.
This demonstrates the utility of endoscopy in reconstructive neurosurgery.

Implications:

Endoscopic techniques offer a minimally invasive alternative for treating nerve entrapments.
The enhanced visualization provided by endoscopes facilitates precise surgical interventions.
This approach may be applicable to other peripheral nerve entrapment syndromes.
