Surgical Approaches to the Facial Skeleton

From Dentistry Made Simple Dentistry Made Simple

Focusing on detailed anatomical and technical descriptions of various procedures for accessing the bones of the face. The text, authored by Edward Ellis III and Michael F. Zide, covers numerous surgical techniques, including transcutaneous and transconjunctival approaches to the periorbital region, the coronal approach for the upper and mid-face, and transoral and transfacial methods for the maxilla and mandible. Emphasis is placed on esthetic outcomes and minimizing complications like nerve damage or conspicuous scarring by carefully navigating the facial anatomy, such as placing incisions in lines of minimal tension or within the oral cavity. The material is intended to serve as a resource for practitioners and especially for surgical trainees in maxillofacial and craniofacial specialties.
