Among these advancements, endoscopic-assisted surgical techniques have emerged as a groundbreaking innovation, offering enhanced visualization, reduced surgical trauma, and improved postoperative outcomes.
These techniques have not only expanded the therapeutic arsenal of maxillofacial surgeons but also set new standards in functional and aesthetic outcomes across various clinical scenarios.
The article "A Review of Endoscopic Surgical Applications in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery", published in Frontiers of Oral and Maxillofacial Medicine (FOMM), presents a comprehensive overview of how endoscopic technology is currently being integrated into OMS practice.
It explores a wide spectrum of applications, ranging from facial fracture repair and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) surgery to salivary gland interventions and facial nerve decompression
The review not only highlights the clinical efficacy and safety of these approaches but also underscores their growing relevance in training and practice, particularly as surgical education embraces more advanced, digitally guided procedures.
This detailed review also discusses the challenges and limitations of endoscopic surgery, including the learning curve, equipment demands, and case selection criteria—providing a balanced perspective for practitioners considering the adoption of these techniques.
By synthesizing existing literature and offering clinical insights, the article serves as an essential resource for surgeons aiming to optimize patient care through minimally invasive methods.
