Minimally invasive endoscopic surgery in the neck, first reported by Gagner in 1996, has beenadopted by a number of other surgical specialties. We have developed new techniques forperforming endoscopic enucleation lipoma. Using our new techniques, various complications,such as injury to nerves and vessels, are prevented. The technique generates cosmeticallysatisfying results. Expansion of minimally invasive surgery into the facial area will beenhanced by the future development of instruments for this area, and decrease operating timeand hospital stay.
