Minimally invasive temporomandibular joint surgery (MITMJS) is an option for patients suffering from severe internal derangement or adhesions. To improve TMJ access, a workflow to create surgical templates is introduced.
A workflow to generate a dividable patient specific template based on CBCT and optical scanning to access the joint is introduced. In a first clinical trial 3 patients (6 joints) were treated by way of template-guided endoscopically-assisted TMJ therapy (3 arthrocenteses and 3 arthroscopies).
Generation and clinical use of the templates was as planned. All templates showed perfect fit and permitted instant access to the TMJ. All surgeries were performed without complications.
Template-guidance could improve the feasibility of endoscopically-assisted TMJ therapy. An important issue is the capability to dis- and remount the template during surgery. Using in-house production, costs are affordable.

对于患有严重内部紊乱或粘连的患者,微创颞下颌关节手术(MITMJS)是一种选择。为了改善 TMJ 的进入,引入了创建手术模板的工作流程。
介绍了一种基于 CBCT 和光学扫描生成可分割的患者特定模板以进入关节的工作流程。在首次临床试验中,通过模板引导的内窥镜辅助 TMJ 治疗(3 次关节穿刺和 3 次关节镜检查)治疗了 3 名患者(6 个关节)。
模板的生成和临床应用按计划进行。所有模板均完美贴合,可立即进入 TMJ。所有手术均无并发症。
模板引导可以提高内窥镜辅助 TMJ 治疗的可行性。一个重要的问题是在手术过程中能够拆卸和重新安装模板的能力。使用内部生产,成本是可以承受的。
