Minimally Invasive Mi Orthognathic Surgery

This comprehensive and visually engaging color atlas and manual serves as an invaluable resource for orthognathic and orthofacial surgeons seeking detailed information on the various aspects of minimally invasive (MI) orthognathic surgery. The initial two chapters lay the foundation for a groundbreaking and innovative approach to MI orthognathic surgery, drawing from a wealth of 25 years of experience. The authors delve into the rationale behind this novel concept, aiming to enhance surgical efficiency and minimize patient morbidity. They present an in-depth exploration of the new surgical algorithm, which encompasses a systematic, step-by-step standardization of MI orthognathic techniques. The development of specialized MI orthognathic instruments and the introduction of innovative surgical codes, sequences, and templates are thoroughly elucidated. Subsequently, the following five chapters meticulously outline the "step-by-step" MI surgical techniques for the five primary orthognathic surgical procedures. These descriptions are accompanied by detailed illustrations, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of each technique. In the closing chapter, the book delves into the essential conditions required for successful MI orthognathic surgery, providing a thorough exploration of these necessary prerequisites. This book serves as a practical and user-friendly guide, offering clear and straightforward "step-by-step" instructions suitable for residents in training, junior surgeons, as well as experienced practitioners. Orthognathic and orthofacial surgeons will find "Minimally Invasive (MI) Orthognathic Surgery" to be an outstanding companion in their routine surgical practice.

Minimally invasive techniques, designed to reduce morbidity and risk while simultaneously improving outcomes, are increasingly being used in oral and maxillofacial surgery. This book covers the most recent technological developments and the advanced techniques used when performing such minimally invasive surgery in patients with common and rare oral and maxillofacial pathologies. The relevant basic science is reviewed, but the principal focus is on the surgical techniques themselves. These are described step by step with the aid of numerous superb color illustrations that will help the clinician to gain a full understanding of the technology and the procedures. In addition, still emerging techniques of endoscopy, navigation, and minimally invasive surgery are well covered. This text will be a premier resource for physicians who diagnose and treat oral and maxillofacial pathologies and injuries.

Minimally Invasive Maxillofacial Surgery comprises contributions from a multidisciplinary group of expert clinicians, including not only oral and maxillofacial surgeons, but also otolaryngologists, plastic surgeons, and orthodontists. The topics covered include minimally invasive reconstruction and orthognathic surgery of the ramus/condyle unit, management of maxillofacial trauma, minimally invasive management of the maxillary sinus, sialoendoscopy, distraction osteogenesis, and minimally invasive management of tumors and jaw cysts.

This issue of the Atlas of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinics of North America focuses on Computer Aided Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, and is edited by Dr. Kevin Arce. Articles will include: Computer Aided Planning and Placement in Implant Surgery; Patient-specific CAD-CAM Osteosynthesis in Orthognathic Surgery; 3-D Soft Tissue Simulation in Orthognathic Surgery; Computer Assisted Design and Manufacturing in Combined Orthognathic and Temporomandibular Joint Surgery; Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing in the Management of Craniofacial Congenital Deformities; Computer Assisted Planning and Intraoperative Navigation in the Management of Temporomandibular Joint Ankyloses; 3-D Computer-assisted Surgical Planning, Manufacturing, Intraoperative Navigation and CT in Maxillofacial Trauma; 3-D Computer Assisted Surgical Planning, Manufacturing and Intraoperative Navigation in Oncologic Surgery; 3-D Computer Assisted Surgical Planning and Manufacturing in Complex Mandibular Reconstruction; 3-D Computer Assisted Surgical Planning and Manufacturing in Complex Maxillary Reconstruction; Developing an In-House Computer Assisted and Manufacturing Program for Craniomaxillofacial Surgery; Integration of Minimally Invasive Orthognathic Surgery and 3D Virtual Planning in Orthognathic Surgery; and more!

The cerebellum is the area at the back of the brain that controls motor movement coordination, balance, equilibrium and muscle tone. The pons connects the cerebral cortex (responsible for thinking perceiving, producing and understanding language) with the medulla oblongata (controls autonomic functions such as breathing, digestion, heart and blood vessel function, swallowing and sneezing). It also serves as a communications centre between the two hemispheres of the brain. The cerebellopontine angle (CPA) is the anatomical space at the junction of the cerebellum and the pons and is a frequent site of benign tumour formation and other non life-threatening, functional disorders. (About.com). This manual is a comprehensive guide to functional surgery of the CPA using the minimally invasive retrosigmoid technique, which involves making a small incision behind the ear, providing endoscopic access to the cerebellum and brain stem. Beginning with the surgical anatomy of CPA and in depth discussion on the instruments and set up for the procedure, the following sections cover the pathophysiology, radiological characteristics, neurological presentation, diagnosis and treatment of a wide spectrum of CPA lesions. Written by internationally recognised experts from France, India and Japan, this highly illustrated resource includes 550 full colour clinical photographs, diagrams and tables, as well as extensive references.

With the various advances in the field of periodontal surgeries, we have developed many surgical techniques resulting in minimal trauma and post operative complications as well as being efficient in terms of the time consumed for these procedures. The 1st edition handbook of "MINIMALLY INVASIVE SUERGERY" is a a guided update that offers you an in depth study into the latest advances and novel techniques of minimally invasive surgery.

Minimally invasive spine surgery, in some form or other, has historical roots dating back more than 100 years, and recent advances in technology now make it increasingly effective in treating suitable spine patients. While minimally invasive approaches have shown to reduce muscle damage, blood loss, and post-operative pain, to perform this t ype of surgery correctly, even highly skilled modern-day surgeons must prepare themselves for a demanding learning curve. For this reason, AOSpine proudly presents Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery: Techniques, Evidence, and Controversies, the most comprehensive book of its kind, which includes more than 500 pages of surgical techniques, illustrations, case images, tips and tricks, and research, providing an invaluable tool for spine surgeons around the world. Each technique is fully examined: The pros and cons of each is objectively reviewed Its spectrum of indications and contraindications is summarized Historical and modern day controversies relating to each technique are discussed Uniquely, chapters in the text are further supported by an evidence-based section summarizing research studies, analysis, and conclusions into each technique, from peer-reviewed journals The text covers more than just a range of interesting medical techniques. By including brief historical introductions on each technique and the surgeons that explored and founded its methods, their early (sometimes self-made) instrumentation, right through to todays current best-practice, this book provides an interesting, informative, and topical instruction on minimally invasive surgery and its increasingly encouraging results for spine-patient care.
