Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Endoscopic surgery is a significant addition in the maxillofacial surgeon's armamentarium. Authors' experience of endoscopically assisted removal of forehead lipomas has been presented. The endoscopic technique permits to hide minimal scars in the hair. The magnification allows a good identification of anatomical structures and thus decreases the risk of numbness. The main disadvantages of this technique are the more expensive equipment and the steep learning curve. But with the expansion of endoscopic techniques, prices should decline and the duration of operations always lessens with experience. This technique might possibly appear to offer a new standard procedure for removal of forehead lipomas, notably in patients with keloid history or high aesthetic concerns.
