Neurosensory preservation in endoscopic forehead plasty

Area of Science:

• Plastic Surgery
• Minimally Invasive Surgery
• Neuroanatomy

Background:

• Endoscopic techniques in aesthetic surgery aim to reduce scarring and sensory changes.
• Traditional endoscopic forehead plasty faces challenges in localizing and preserving neurovascular bundles, making the procedure time-consuming.

Purpose of the Study:

• To introduce a novel method for percutaneous localization of supraorbital and supratrochlear nerves.
• To facilitate a more expeditious endoscopic forehead plasty while preserving sensation.

Main Methods:

• Percutaneous localization of supraorbital and supratrochlear nerves.
• Application of this localization technique during endoscopic forehead plasty.

Main Results:

• The new method enables expeditious endoscopic forehead plasty.
• Preservation of sensation in the forehead and scalp is achieved.

Conclusions:

• Percutaneous nerve localization is an effective adjunct for endoscopic forehead plasty.
• This technique enhances surgical efficiency and patient outcomes by preserving sensation.
