Abstract
Endoscopic-assisted surgery allows remote incision placement and provi des an illuminated, magnified operative field. We have applied these p rinciples to perform neurolysis of the zygomaticotemporal nerve and re moval of a fixation wire under endoscopic control in a patient with pa in and tenderness at the site of a previous zygomatic arch fracture. E ndoscopic assistance aided dissection by placing the incision in a hid den, unscarred area.
