Endoscopic surgery for facial bones is a new frontier. Researchers successfully used endoscopy to resect pig mandibular angles, showing promising results for human application.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally invasive surgical techniques
  • Plastic and reconstructive surgery
  • Animal modeling for surgical innovation

Background:

  • Endoscopic technology has significantly advanced surgical procedures.
  • Current endoscopic applications in plastic surgery include carpal tunnel release and face-lifting.
  • A gap exists in endoscopic approaches for facial bone procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the feasibility of endoscopic resection of the mandibular angles.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of this novel endoscopic technique in an animal model.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized pigs as an animal model for the surgical procedure.
  • Performed endoscopic resection of the mandibular angles.

Main Results:
