Quick Review #81 - #surgery #preauricular #plasticsurgery #doctorgallagher #oralsurgery #oralsurgeon #dentist #dentistry #dental #surgeon #doctor

The preauricular incision is a surgical technique primarily utilized in oral and maxillofacial surgery, especially for accessing the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and surrounding structures. The specific indications and details of this approach are as follows:

Indications:

1. Upper Condylar Process and TMJ Compartments: The preauricular approach is ideally used for managing problems in these areas. It’s commonly employed in TMJ ankylosis cases.

2. High Condylar Fractures: This incision is also utilized in the treatment of high condylar fractures of the mandible.

3. Limited Exposure: It’s important to note that the exposure offered by the preauricular approach is limited to a portion of the condylar neck region.

Surgical Design:

• The incision is typically made in a preauricular skin crease, extending from the level of the helix above the tragus to the lobule. This placement is chosen for both functional and aesthetic reasons.

• The dissection involves navigating through neurovascular structures, including branches of the facial nerve and the superficial temporal artery and vein.

• The approach also involves dissecting down to the temporalis fascia and further to expose the capsule of the TMJ.

Pros:

• Aesthetic Considerations: One of the main advantages of a preauricular approach is the minimal visibility of scars.

• Access to the Superior Part of the TMJ: It provides good access to the superior portion of the TMJ and the anteromedially displaced mandibular condyle.

Cons:

• Limited Access to Lower Portion: The preauricular approach does not provide access to the lower portion of the condylar process.

• Difficulty in Rigid Fixation: Rigid fixation of mandibular condyle fractures can be challenging with this approach.

• Risk of Facial Nerve Damage: There’s a significant risk of damaging the facial nerve, which is a major concern in this surgical technique.

Additional Considerations:

• Careful planning and execution are essential to minimize risks, especially regarding nerve damage.

• The technique requires a thorough understanding of the anatomy and careful handling of the neurovascular structures.

👉 Today’s selected quote for “Mhango Motivation.” I believe waking up with optimism is key a powerful day ahead, and so I decided that waking up a little earlier every morning to select the top, recent quote from ppl we know is inspiring. Let’s make it a great day 🫡🤜🤛

🥭 I created the brand “mhango” to both wear & promote a message I believe in: the “mha” in mhango stands for Mental Health Awareness.

We all know someone and/or have experienced mental health and society is just starting to talk about it more; I want to take action. I’m building this with a close team to bring realize and action on this dream - and to wear this like a heart on my sleeve because I believe in this endeavor.
