Endoscopic technique have become very popular in plastic and reconstructive surgery. They have provided advantages over previously closed techniques by minimizing scars, soft tissue manipulation and access with excellent visualization and magnification. More than twenty cases of facial bone surgery were performed over the past 3 years by endoscopic assistance. Our series consist of 3 cases of frontal bone contouring, 1 zygoma contouring, 3 fracture of zygoma, 9 fracture of orbit, 4 rhinoplasty for deviated nose. To accomplish this technique, a rigid 4 mm, 30 degree down angled endoscope was used. The frontal bone or zygomatic arch is approached endoscopically through two or three small incisions on the temporoparietal scalp. All endoscopic instrument are then manipulated through these incisions. The approach for zygoma complex, maxilla and mandible needs intraoral incision. Recontouring by a power bur and osteotomy using a small saw are done with endoscopic visual assistance. Rigid fixation requires an additional small incision over the plate for trocar method. The other technique was same with routine standard rhinoplasty procedures. The duration of follow-up ranged 3 months to 27 months. The postoperative course were satisfactory with fewer complication than conventional technique. The extra-time need for the endoscopic procedures was about 1 hour Endoscopically assisted facial bone recontouring, osteotomy and plate fixation can be performed with adequate visualization and direct manipulation of all facial bone. Complications usually associated with extensive incisions and pool visualization may be avoided. This technique may prove to be ideal for aesthetic surgery for facia skeleton with smaller scars and less morbidity.
