ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new way to treat large jaw cysts, specifically those found in the lower jaw (mandible). Researchers want to see if using advanced technology, like endoscopy (a method that allows doctors to see inside the body using a small camera) and navigation tools, can help remove these cysts while reducing the risk of nerve injuries after surgery. They will compare this new approach with traditional methods to find out which one is more effective in preventing complications and whether it helps reduce the chance of the cysts coming back after treatment.

To participate in this trial, you need to be between 18 and 75 years old and have a specific type of jaw cyst that is at least 2 cm in size. You should not have any serious health issues that would make surgery risky, and you should not have had nerve damage before the surgery. If you join the study, you can expect to undergo surgery under general anesthesia, where you will be monitored closely. The researchers will track your recovery, particularly looking for any nerve injuries one month after the surgery and checking for cyst recurrence one year later. If you're interested, you'll need to sign a consent form to participate after discussing the study with your healthcare team.
