Endoscopic-assisted surgery has gained widespread popularity as a minimally invasive
procedure, particularly in the field of maxillofacial surgery. Because the surgical
field around the mandibular angle is extremely narrow, the surrounding tissues may
get caught in sharp rotary cutting instruments. In piezosurgery, bone tissues are
selectively cut. This technique has various applications because minimal damage is
caused by the rotary cutting instruments when they briefly come in contact with soft
tissues. We report the case of a 33-year-old man who underwent resection of an osteoma
in the region of the mandibular angle region via an intraoral approach. During surgery,
the complete surgical field was within the view of the endoscope, thereby enabling
the surgeon to easily resection the osteoma with the piezosurgery device. Considering
that piezosurgery limits the extent of surgical invasion, this is an excellent low-risk
technique that can be used in the field of maxillofacial surgery.
