Summary
Endoscopic brow lifting offers a less invasive surgical option for correcting ptotic eyebrows. This technique uses modern endoscopes to address facial anatomy, reducing complications like swelling and scarring.
Area of Science:
- Plastic Surgery
- Minimally Invasive Procedures
- Facial Anatomy
Context:
- Modern endoscopes have increased the popularity of endoscopic surgical techniques.
- Endoscopic brow lifting is replacing traditional, more invasive brow lift procedures.
Purpose:
- To describe the technique of endoscopic brow lifting for treating ptotic eyebrows.
- To highlight the anatomical structures addressed during the procedure.
Summary:
- The technique involves identifying and treating a ptotic eyebrow by addressing key facial muscles: frontalis, corrugator, procerus, and orbicularis oculi.
- The frontalis muscle is permanently secured in a desired position using titanium screws and sutures.
Impact:
- This endoscopic approach results in lower rates of post-operative edema, hematoma, hypesthesia, alopecia, and scarring.
- Facial plastic surgeons can effectively treat ptotic brows with improved patient outcomes.

01:30Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy
Endoscopy is a non-surgical medical technique used to examine a person's internal organs and vessels. This lesson will focus on two types of endoscopic studies: bronchoscopy and thoracoscopy.
Bronchoscopy
Description
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves direct visualization of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A flexible fiber optic or rigid bronchoscope is used to carry out the procedure. The fiber-optic bronchoscope is more frequently used due to...

01:26Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a diagnostic procedure that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat conditions related to the bile ducts, pancreatic ducts, and gallbladder. This procedure is beneficial for identifying and addressing blockages, gallstones, strictures, and tumors within the biliary or pancreatic systems. ERCP is both diagnostic and therapeutic, offering the ability to visualize and treat identified problems in one session.

01:14Muscles for Facial Expressions
The craniofacial muscles are a collection of approximately 20 thin skeletal muscles situated beneath the skin of the face and scalp. These muscles, primarily responsible for the vast array of human facial expressions, originate from the bones or fibrous structures of the skull and extend outwards to connect with the skin. While most skeletal muscles in the body are enveloped in thick fascia, facial muscles generally have a more delicate fascial covering, with the buccinator muscle being a...
