Abstract

The history of the modern minimally invasive (MI) approach to oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS) is short, but it has a very rich background. The development of minimally invasive surgery includes progress in endoscopy, development of intraoperative navigation, tissue engineering (TE), and, specifically for maxillofacial surgery, development of mandibular distraction. In endoscopic surgery, the minimally invasive approach started when illumination and observation were combined with irrigation/suction and intervention with microsurgical instruments. Frame-based stereotaxy of neurosurgery did not contribute to maxillofacial surgery. The selective intraoperative localization of anatomical structures of the facial part of the skull became possible with further computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) progress that stimulated the development of frameless stereotaxy. The method of distraction osteogenesis is based on the tension-stress principle developed by G.A. Ilizarov in the 1950s and 1960s. Osteogenetic treatment of the jaws has its own history which started in 1799, well before Ilizarov was born. The engineering of cartilage and bone tissue brought benefits to the treatment of disorders of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Regenerative dentistry became another main field in the application of tissue engineering in OMS.

Before we condemn or applaud an operator, before we adopt him as an example, we should carefully examine his reasons for any given mode of operation.
