Objective To compare the curative effects and complications between endoscope-assisted treatment and scalp coronal incision for zygomatic complex fractures. Method Fifty zygomatic complex fracture patients treated between January 2008 to May 2014 were randomly divided into trial group (n=30) treated through endoscope-assisted procedure and control group (n=20) treated through scalp coronal incision. In the trial group, functional reduction and fixation of the fractures under endoscope were performed, and the control group was treated with coronal incision and internal fixation of the fractures. After the operation, all the patients were evaluated on the effects and complications through physical examination and CT review. Results The number of grade-Ⅰ, -Ⅱ and-Ⅲ curative effects were respectively 24 (80.0%), 5 (16.7%), and 1 (3.3%) in the trial group, while those numbers in the control group were respectively 16 (80.0%), 3 (15.0%), and 1 (5.0%). There was no significant difference in the curative effects between the two groups (P>0.05). There were no cases of complications in the trial group, but there were 4 cases (20.0%) of facial nerve injury, 5 cases (25.0%) of hair loss, 4 cases (20.0%) of temporal sag, and 5 cases (25.0%) of scalp hematoma in the control group. The complication rate in the control group was significantly higher than that in the trial group (P<0.05). Conclusions While the curative effects between endoscope-assisted treatment and scalp coronal incision for zygomatic complex fractures are not significantly different, endoscope-assisted technology can reduce the complications of the operation, which is a minimally invasive surgery and can promote good aesthetic appearance.
