Published: June 1998

Endoscopic surgery to repair a frontal bone fracture is described. This operation is less invasive than the conventional open technique, which is performed under direct vision through a bicoronal or eyebrow incision. Endoscopic surgery leaves no conspicuous scars in the forehead and is free from complications such as nerve or vascular injuries, and appears to be of significant clinical value.

Vertebroplasty has shown excellent analgesic effects in patients with osteoporotic vertebral fractures. In Japan, percutaneous vertebroplasty, balloon kyphoplasty, and vertebral body stenting are commonly performed. All of these techniques require precise transpedicular vertebral puncture and complete cement filling without leakage.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bisphenol A-glycidyl methacrylate (bis-GMA) without UV light polymerization for the repair of refractory iatrogenic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks with large skull base defects.

Background: CSF leakage remains a common complication after neurosurgical interventions with a substantial resultant impact on morbidity and increased healthcare costs. The management of refractory CSF leaks with large skull base defects remains challenging.

The human lacrimal gland (LG), located above the outer orbital region within the frontal bone socket, is essential in maintaining eye surface health and lubrication. It is firmly anchored to the orbital periosteum by the connective tissue, and it is vital for protecting and lubricating the eye by secreting lacrimal fluid. Disruption in the production, composition, or secretion of lacrimal fluid can lead to dry eye syndrome, a condition characterized by ocular discomfort and potential eye surface damage.

Background: The impact of tongue protrusion forces on the formation of malocclusions is well documented in academic literature. In the case of bone dehiscence of the buccal wall in front of the lower frontal teeth, this process may be even more pronounced. Augmentation with 3D customized allogenic bone blocks (CABB) has been proposed as a potential solution for treating such defects.
