Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Surgical Techniques
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • The mandibular condyle is a critical component of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).
  • Various surgical approaches exist for accessing the mandibular condyle.
  • Extra-oral approaches can lead to complications such as facial nerve injury and scarring.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe and illustrate a modified trans-oral technique for accessing the mandibular condyle.
  • To evaluate the clinical outcomes of this novel surgical approach.
  • To present an alternative to extra-oral methods for TMJ surgery.

Main Methods:

  • A modified trans-oral surgical technique was developed and employed.
  • The technique involves direct intra-oral access to the mandibular condyle.

  • The procedure was performed on a small cohort of patients.

    • Main Results:

    • The modified trans-oral technique provided adequate surgical access to the mandibular condyle.
    • Clinical outcomes in the patient group were promising.
    • The approach successfully avoided complications associated with extra-oral dissections.

    Conclusions:

    • The described modified trans-oral technique is a viable and effective method for mandibular condyle access.
    • This approach is suitable for various temporomandibular joint (TMJ) procedures, including condylar resection and tumor removal.
    • It offers a safer alternative to extra-oral approaches, minimizing potential patient morbidity.
