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.

Management of Complications in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2nd Edition, presents clear and consistent guidance on all aspects of both common and less common, minor and major complications encountered in oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS) practice. In-depth chapters provide thorough descriptions of each complication and recommend treatment strategies for associated complications of anesthesia, implant surgery, maxillofacial trauma, and more, using easy to read algorithms. Fully revised and expanded, the Second Edition incorporates the most current evidence and advances in the specialty, including implementation of virtual surgical planning for orthognathic and reconstructive surgery. Nine entirely new chapters address complications in minimally invasive cosmetic surgery, lip cancer, dermatopathology and skin cancer, microneurosurgery for trigeminal nerve injuries, transoral robotic surgery (TORS), sialoendoscopy complications, perioperative navigation for dental implants, head and neck radiotherapy, and ambulatory anesthesia in pediatric and geriatric patients. Highlights include: Provides a systematic, easy-to-read approach to complication prevention, recognition, and management Covers most potential complications, ranging from the routine to the complex Features more than 500 high-quality clinical images demonstrating all concepts discussed in the text Includes keywords, tables, learning objectives, and further readings in each chapter Includes treatment algorithms to guide clinical decision-making Edited by prominent oral and maxillofacial surgeons with contributions by leading experts in their respective areas Management of Complications in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Second Edition is a must-have for all oral and maxillofacial surgeons, residents, and trainees, and a valuable resource for dental students and dental practitioners, for clinical practice, and for examination preparation.

Minimally Invasive Dental Implant Surgery presents a new clinical text and atlas focused on cutting edge and rapidly developing, minimally invasive treatment modalities and their applications to implant dentistry. Centered on progress in imaging, instrumentation, biomaterials and techniques, this book discusses both the “how to” as well as the “why” behind the concept of minimally invasive applications in implant surgery. Drawing together key specialists for each topic, the book provides readers with guidance for a broad spectrum of procedures, and coalesces information on the available technologies into one useful resource. Minimally Invasive Dental Implant Surgery will be a useful new guide to implant specialists and restorative dentists seeking to refine their clinical expertise and minimize risk for their patients.

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.
