Oral and maxillofacial surgeons use endoscopic-assisted techniques for treating facial trauma, enabling smaller incisions and better visualization. This approach enhances fracture reduction and fixation without altering current treatment indications.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgical Techniques
  • Trauma Management

Background:

  • Endoscopic techniques are increasingly adopted in oral and maxillofacial surgery.
  • Prior experience in TMJ arthroscopy and endoscopic sinus/skull base surgery informs this application.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the application of endoscopic-assisted techniques in managing maxillofacial trauma.
  • To evaluate the benefits of these techniques in fracture reduction and fixation.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing endoscopic assistance for the surgical management of facial fractures.
  • Applying miniplate osteosynthesis for open reduction and fixation.

Main Results:

  • Endoscopic-assisted techniques allow for limited incisions.

  • Improved intraoperative control is achieved in areas with limited exposure and visibility.
  • Fracture reduction and fixation methods remain consistent.

    • Conclusions:

    • Endoscopic-assisted approaches offer advantages in managing maxillofacial trauma.
    • These techniques enhance surgical precision and patient outcomes.
    • Indications for open treatment of maxillofacial trauma are not altered by endoscopic methods.
