Piezosurgery-assisted sliding genioplasty: a method for reduction of complications. Review and case report

摘要: The anterior mandible is generally considered a relatively safe surgical site for performing osteotomies. Nevertheless, the increasing rate of interventions also has raised reported complications. Careful preoperative planning and approach are necessary to prevent damage vital anatomic structures. most frequent complications after genioplasties result from neurovascular present article attempts review neurovascularization mandible, taking account typical variations considering specific as well therapeutic consequences. Piezosurgery introduced precise technique reduce complication improve treatment outcomes genioplasties. Conventional chin osteotomies performed with bone drills, saws, chisels. In comparison these traditional instruments, piezoelectric device lot easier control much less aggressive, creating only minimal soft tissues. Accordingly, piezosurgery provides increase in safety osteotomies, especially concerning nerve vessel injuries.
