In order to avoid injury to the marginal mandibular branch of the facial nerve during surgery in the face and neck, a simple method for locating this branch was devised. The anatomical relations between the marginal mandibular nerve and both the facial artery and vein were analyzed in 19 dissection
## Abstract The marginal mandibular branch (MMB) has a particular risk of injury during surgical procedures in the submandibular region, especially over the lower border of the mandible. The facial nerve has been described in many studies, but the MMB is dealt with generally as a branch of the faci
In order to evaluate the risk of nerve injury and to prevent iatrogenic damage at different stages of bilateral sagittal-split osteotomy (BSSO) of the mandible, we monitored the function of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) continuously on both sides in 13 orthognathic patients undergoing BSSO. The
