Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) in oral and maxillofacial procedures includes a range of treatments designed to reduce patient trauma, promote quicker recovery, and minimize scarring. These techniques are used for a variety of conditions, including temporomandibular joint disorders, sinus surgery, fracture fixation, and orthognathic surgeries. Additionally, procedures such as dental implant placement, impacted tooth extractions, soft tissue biopsies, and cleft lip and palate repair can be performed with smaller incisions and specialized instruments. MIS is also employed for salivary gland surgery, bone grafting, skin grafting, and laser surgeries, which all aim to enhance precision and speed recovery. Advanced imaging, computer-assisted navigation, and robotic technologies help in performing these procedures with greater accuracy and minimal disruption to surrounding tissues, ultimately improving patient outcomes.
