Definition/Purpose of Procedure
Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorder occurs when the muscles used in chewing and the joints of
the jaw fail to work in combination with each other.

w/eyes; entire facial area prepped from hairline, down to shoulder, and laterally to include mouth and chin

Surgical Intervention: Special Considerations/Incision

![Page 18: Procedures Intermediate Format Temporomandibular Joint Arthroscopy](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649ca35503460f94962d8e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Surgical Intervention: Procedure Steps
• Irrigation solution is injected into the joint space to distend the capsule– LR solution is preloaded in syringe w/needle attached.
• After small stab incision is placed, surgeon inserts a sheath w/sharp obturator into superior joint space. After space is entered, the sharp is replaced with a dull obturator to further direct the sheath into the joint without damaging the intraarticular tissue or adjacent neurovascular structures. – #11 blade with # 7 handle will be ready
– Trocar/cannula is preassembled. Expect trocor to be returned. Be prepared to assist with connections of video/light cord connections.

Surgical Intervention: Procedure Steps
• Irrigation is infused into the joint
– LR solution is connected to the cannua via extension tubing
• Joint is examined
– Prepare to operate remote control for still photos
• If functional surgery is needed, a second stab wound is made– Pass skin knife. Prepare additional equipment (probe, shaver,
grasper)
• Final visual inspection is performed– Additional photos may be taken
![Page 20: Procedures Intermediate Format Temporomandibular Joint Arthroscopy](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649ca35503460f94962d8e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Surgical Intervention: Procedure Steps
• Cannuale are removed and excess fluid removed– Prepare for closure; count
• Wound is closed and dressing placed– Pass suture; prepare dressings, reorganize
equipment & supplies if procedure is bilateral
• Steps may be repeated contralaterally– Repeat steps
![Page 21: Procedures Intermediate Format Temporomandibular Joint Arthroscopy](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649ca35503460f94962d8e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Counts
• Initial: sponges and sharps
• First closing
• Final closing– Sponges– Sharps
![Page 22: Procedures Intermediate Format Temporomandibular Joint Arthroscopy](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649ca35503460f94962d8e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Specimen & Care
• Identified as n/a or as specified (eg chondromalacia)
• Handled: routine, etc.
![Page 23: Procedures Intermediate Format Temporomandibular Joint Arthroscopy](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649ca35503460f94962d8e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Postop Considerations
• Immediate– ROM of jaw limited– Suction and Emergency airway supplies readily
available; Elevate HOB 30 degrees– Ice for pain and swelling– Liquid or soft diet for several days
• Prognosis: good—may recur if behaviors not resolved; PT may begin in 24-48 hrs post-op.
• Complications: hemorrhage, infection, recurrence– Joint damage, destruction of middle ear ossicles, perforation into
middle cranial fossa, injury to auriculotemporal nerve
