Hidden incisions: new endoscopic technique aims to reduce scarring in facial fracture surgery
NCT ID NCT07340528
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new surgical method that uses a tiny camera (endoscope) to repair broken facial bones through small, hidden cuts instead of large incisions. The goal is to see if this approach works as well as standard surgery while reducing scarring and nerve damage. Thirty adults with certain types of facial fractures are taking part.
