Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Medical Technology
  • Neurosurgery Applications

Background:

  • Facial skeleton deformities require precise surgical reconstruction.
  • Traditional methods may involve extensive scarring and limited visualization.
  • Endoscopic and neuronavigational technologies offer potential advancements.

Observation:

  • An endoscope provides enhanced visualization on a monitor, reducing scarring and blind work.
  • A neuronavigator, a frameless stereotactic device, offers intraoperative 3D coordinate guidance.
  • These technologies were applied in three cases: zygomatic augmentation and frontal bone reduction.

Findings:

  • The combined use of endoscopes and neuronavigators facilitates accurate reconstruction of asymmetrical facial deformities.

  • Endoscopic visualization minimizes tissue disruption and improves surgical field access.
  • Neuronavigation provides real-time spatial data for precise bone augmentation and reduction.

    • Implications:

    • This technique enhances surgical outcomes in correcting facial asymmetry.
    • It offers a less invasive approach to complex craniofacial reconstructive surgery.
    • The versatility of these tools suggests broader applications in facial plastic surgery.
