Article Synopsis
- Incisions made on the upper lip during oral and head and neck surgery may lead to sensory disturbances due to injury to the infraorbital nerve (ION) branches, but the exact distribution of these nerve branches in that area has not been well-documented.
- A study examined nine human cadavers to identify the pattern of ION branches in relation to the muscles of the upper lip, finding that these branches predominantly run vertically rather than horizontally.
- The study concludes that performing lateral incisions on the upper lip during surgery is safer and minimizes the risk of damaging the ION, particularly recommending avoiding deeper cuts near the labial glands.
The layered structures of facial muscles and their topographical relationship with facial fasciae are still not fully understood. This study aimed to clarify the layered structures of facial muscles and fasciae in the temporal-malar-mandible-neck region. Thirty-four human cadavers were examined during gross anatomy courses at Niigata University (2017-2020).
