Advanced arthroscopic procedures, including disc suturing, are advantageous in managing temporomandibular joint disorders. These techniques are indicated in cases of long-standing closed lock, displaced discs with reduction, and hypermobility with chronic dislocation. Disc suturing procedures can be done blindly, partially blindly, or fully visualized. Fully visualized suturing techniques have obvious advantages, but can be time-consuming, difficult to perform, and traumatic. This article presents a new suturing technique that is fully visualized and is less time-consuming and relatively easy to perform.

A new suturing technique for stabilizing anteriorly displaced discs that have been reduced arthroscopically after removal of adhesions, lateral pterygoid release, and stretching the lateral capsule is presented. This procedure has provided successful results, although the evaluation is only short-term. No complications have occurred using this suturing technique.

Arthroscopy of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) has advanced to the point that excellent diagnostic examination and a number of surgical procedures can be performed. A refined technique is presented and instrumentation for surgical arthroscopy is discussed. Short-term results are also presented.

... As the number of performed TMJ arthroscopy increases, the case reports of related complications have also increased [1]. Reported cases of complications include vascular injury [2], otologic injury [3], neurologic injury [4], instrument failure [5], and perforation of the middle cranial fossa [6] and extradural hematoma [7]. There have only been a few published cases of the complication of parapharangeal edema resulting in a prolonged intubation period. ...

... However, our findings align with previous reports that the HH plane frequently misaligns with the zygomatic arch, obscuring the accurate placement of the trocar and cannula. [8][9][10] The individualized approach used in this study, which involves detailed measurements from sagittal and coronal CT reconstructions, allows for precise customization of the surgical entry points. This is particularly important in TMJ arthroscopy, where the spatial relationship between the surgical landmarks and the joint can vary considerably between patients. ...
