The Collision of Minimally Invasive Techniques with Maxillofacial Surgery

The so-called minimally invasive surgery refers to the advanced surgical mode in which modern photoelectric imaging system, micro-surgical device and energy generation equipment, replace traditional open operation with endoscopic technology, and precision controlled surgical instruments with traditional scalpel to complete the diagnosis and treatment of lesions through tiny wounds.

Maxillofacial surgery is an important branch of oral medicine for the surgical treatment of cranial and maxillofacial facial bones, soft tissues and temporomandibular joints.

According to the surgical symptoms and treatment purpose can be divided into the following categories:

1. Trauma Repair Surgery

2. Orthognathic Surgery

3. Tumor Resection and Reconstructive Surgery

4. Temporomandibular Joint Surgery

Important structures such as trigeminal nerve branches, facial nerve and external carotid artery are centrally distributed in the maxillofacial area. Traditional surgery is easy to cause nerve damage and vascular bleeding. At the same time, the incision scar formed after the traditional surgery is more obvious, while the minimally invasive technology can realize the incision concealment and non-trace healing. Therefore, the application of minimally invasive techniques is important for maxillofacial surgery.

Application of Micro Power Tools in Minimally Invasive Maxillofacial Surgery

1. Bone Cutting and Plastic Surgery:

2. Neurodecompression Technique: For facial nerve compression (such as Bell’s palsy), micro drills can be used with endoscopic assistance to remove bone (such as temporal bone) that compresses the nerve, avoiding damage to surrounding soft tissues

3. Dental Implantation and Bone Augmentation:

4. Endoscopic Assisted Surgery:

5. Tumor Resection and Biopsy:

Advantage of Minimally Invasive Techniques

1. Clinical Advantage of Functional Recovery

2. Multi-dimensional Improvement in Patient Benefit

3. Innovation at the Operational Level

Contrast Dimensions Traditional Surgery Minimally Invasive Surgery
Bone Healing Time Six to eight weeks after surgery 4-5 weeks after surgery (Piezosurgery promotes osteocyte activity)
The Occlusal Function Restore Six weeks after surgery 2-3 weeks after surgery (Precise reduction reduces error)
Opening Training Starts Four weeks after surgery 1 week after surgery (Arthroscopic techniquereduces adhesions)

With the continuous innovation of technology, minimally invasive maxillofacial surgery will continue to develop in the direction of precision, personalization and intelligence, to provide safer and more effective treatment plans for patients.
