Abstract
Minimally invasive (MI) surgery has been described by Hunter in 1999 as a discipline that involves a novel way to perform operative procedures with the main goal of decreasing the sequelae of traditional surgery. In the last two and a half decades, MI surgical approaches were developed in different medical surgical fields and within Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMFS) toward different OMFS procedures such as temporomandibular joint (TMJ), facial trauma and salivary gland surgery. In this chapter, the background of MI orthognathic surgery and development of new MI orthognathic surgical techniques are described. Based on evidence-based literature “MI mindset” parameters and considerations toward optimizing surgical efficiency and decreasing patient morbidity are outlined. Finally, a new “Minimally Invasive Orthognathics Algorithm” that summarizes the overall concept to enhance the Quality of Live (QoL) of patients with maxillofacial deformity undergoing orthognathic/orthofacial surgery is presented.
