Abstract

Endoscopic surgery, performed through small incisions, yields therapeutic results equivalent or superior to those obtained using the conventional approach. The technique has been established in laparoscopic cholecystectomic surgery. In plastic surgery, endoscopic techniques were first developed in aesthetic procedures and have been reported to be useful in face-lift operations (1, 2, 3), breast reconstruction (4), muscle flap harvesting (5, 6, 7, 8) and subcutaneous surgery (9).

Endobrow lift has become a more and more popular aesthetic procedure (1, 2, 3). The endoscope provides an excellent magnification and, through a high power light source, a very good illumination of the operative field (10). It explains why the endoscope is more and more used in recontructive procedures.

We report the case of a patient suffering from a posttraumatic entrapment of the right supraorbital nerve which was released by an endoscopic approach.
