Minimally Invasive Genioplasty Procedure

In this technical note, we present a new surgical approach for genioplasty in which a minimally invasive procedure is used to perform the chin osteotomy. The main goal was to reduce postoperative functional recovery time and possible complications, especially reduction of lip incompetence, chin ptosis, and muscle dysfunction, by retaining the intactness of the mentalis muscles.

First Iranian Experience of the Minimally Invasive Nuss Procedure for Pectus Excavatum Repair: A Case Series and Literature Review

Pectus excavatum is the most common congenital deformity of the chest wall. The most frequently used techniques include Ravitch (costochondral resection) and Nuss (minimally invasive pectus repair of pectus excavatum [MIRPE]). The Nuss technique includes using temporary metallic bars without costochondral resection to correct the chest wall deformity. Modified MIRPE can be learned easily and pe...

A Preoperative Planning Procedure for Robotically Assisted Minimally Invasive Interventions

A successful robotically assisted minimally invasive intervention necessitates preoperative planning which is done by the surgeon to prepare the intervention and to decide about the best access to the surgical site. In the context of robotically assisted minimally invasive surgery, this requires to optimally place ports and robots such that important conditions and requirements like sufficient ...
