Zusammenfassung:Endoscopic-assisted surgery allows remote incision placement and provides an illuminated, magnified operative field. We have applied these principles to perform neurolysis of the zygomaticotemporal nerve and removal of a fixation wire under endoscopic control in a patient with pain and tenderness at the site of a previous zygomatic arch fracture. Endoscopic assistance aided dissection by placing the incision in a hidden, unscarred area.
