Abstract
Statement of the Problem: In Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, the use of the endoscope during surgical procedures for open reduction and internal fixation of fractures such as the orbital floor, mandibular condyle, frontal sinus, and zygomatic complex has resulted in having less visible scars with smaller incisions, direct visualization with excellent illumination of the field, and reduced complications such as facial nerve damage. Utilization of this minimally invasive technique is beneficial to patients due to decreased morbidity, faster recovery, and discharge from the hospital. However, there has not been much discussion in the literature of using the endoscope for the reduction of mandibular angle fractures through a trocar transoral approach. The purpose of this abstract is to recommend a minimally invasive technique for open reduction internal fixation of mandibular angle fractures utilizing an endoscopic assisted approach.
