Endoscope-assisted repair of zygomatic arch fracture via a short hidden preauricular incision / 中华整形外科杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the relevant applied technique and clinical value of endoscope-assisted repair of zygomatic arch fracture via a short hidden preauricular incision.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>There were 7 cases of unilateral zygomatic arch fracture and 10 cases of unilateral zygomatic fracture. Reduction and fixation of zygomatic arch in all cases were performed via a short preauricular incision assisted by endoscope.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Symmetric malar was achieved in all cases after operation. There was no difficulty in opening mouth, no chewing problems or severe complications.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Endoscope-assisted repair of zygomatic arch fracture via a short hidden preauricular incision can be an alternative operation for zygomatic arch fracture.</p>

Observe the dissection of the tunnels of augmentation rhinoplasty under endoscope / 中华整形外科杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe and analyse the dissection of the tunnels in traditional blind operation of augmentation rhinoplasty.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>11 Cases of augmentation rhinoplasty were collected and be observed by an endoscope as soon as the tunnels were formed during the operations.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>(1) Some of the tunnels did not go through one layer. (2) The bilateral cartilage separated in the mid-line. (3) There were two blood vessels in the surface of alar cartilage. There were perforating blood vessels in the edge of pyriform aperture. (4) In some cases whose incision were in unilateral alar margin, the tunnel were asymmetric.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>In some cases of traditional blind operation of augmentation rhinoplasty, tunnels were not suitable, they were asymmetric; and there were desmo and septa in the tunnels. Those might be the causes of complications post-op of augmentation rhinoplasty.</p>

The value of endoscopic technique in maxillofacial and neck regions / 中华整形外科杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To discuss the value of endoscopic technique in maxillofacial and neck regions.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>This retrospective review included 102 clinical patients with superficial masses in maxillofacial and neck regions. The indications, incisions, endoscopic space preparation and the key points of operative process were analysed.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>All of the results were satisfying.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The endoscopic technique in treating superficial masses in maxillofacial and neck regions had the advantage of wide indications, multiple incision choices, easy control of operative layers and less complications. And the recent and remote effects were excellent.</p>
