[Endoscopic technologies in maxillofacial surgery].

Abstract

Endoscopic operations in 107 patients with numerous maxillofacial diseases are analyzed. Endoscopic technologies were used in diseases of the maxillary sinus, temporomandibular joint, injuries to the facial nerve, and cysts of the jaws. New methods for surgical treatment of mandibular fractures, zygomatico-orbital complex, cysts of the jaws are proposed. The results of utilization of endoscopic technologies in maxillofacial surgery are analyzed and their high efficacy and good prospects are demonstrated.

Design of a high-numerical-aperture miniature microscope objective for an endoscopic fiber confocal reflectance microscope.

An endoscopic confocal microscope requires a high-performance, miniaturized microscope objective. We present the design of a miniature water-immersion microscope objective that is approximately 10 times smaller in length than a typical commercial objective. The miniature objective is 7 mm in outer diameter and 21 mm in length (from object to image). It is used in a fiber confocal reflectance microscope. The miniature microscope objective has a numerical aperture of 1.0, a field of view of 250 microm, and a working distance of 450 microm. It delivers diffraction-limited performance at lambda = 1064 nm. Micrometer-level resolution has been experimentally demonstrated.

Unique features of optical scanning, single fiber endoscopy.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: To advance the field of minimally invasive medical procedures, an ideal endoscope should provide high-resolution images with variable magnification from an ultra-thin package, while adding depth cues and integrating optical diagnoses and therapies. Satisfying all these requirements is extremely difficult using commercial endoscopes. A new imaging technology is introduced that uses directed laser illumination, which is scanned at the distal end of a flexible endoscope. STUDY DESIGN/MATERIALS AND METHODS: A single-mode optical fiber is driven in vibratory resonance using a piezoelectric actuator. The emitted laser light is scanned in two-dimensions over test specimens. Digital images are constructed by detecting optical power one pixel at a time. RESULTS: Unique features of the fiber scanning scope are rapidly changing magnification, enhanced topographic detail, and concurrent fluorescence imaging, which are demonstrated and discussed. CONCLUSION: This fiber scanning scope has the potential for pixel-accurate delivery of high quality laser radiation, allowing the future integration of imaging with diagnosis and therapy.
