Endoscopic plastic surgery shares complications with open surgery, but unique risks exist. Further development and surgeon experience should decrease these specific endoscopic complications.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Endoscopic-assisted plastic surgery is a relatively new field with limited published complication data.
  • Existing literature and expert consensus highlight the need to understand endoscopic procedure risks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and categorize complications associated with endoscopic plastic surgery.
  • To compare endoscopic complications with those of traditional open techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Review of published literature on endoscopic plastic surgery complications.
  • Consensus and experience sharing from the Endoscopy in Plastic Surgery: A consensus Multidisciplinary Symposium.

Main Results:

  • Complications from endoscopic plastic surgery are broadly similar to open techniques.

Related Experiment Videos

  • A distinct set of complications specific to endoscopic procedures has been identified.

    • Conclusions:

    • While many risks overlap with open surgery, specific complications arise from endoscopic methods.
    • Advancements in endoscopic techniques and increased surgeon proficiency are expected to mitigate these unique complications.
