Abstract
<jats:p>Modern methods of osteotomy of the bones of the facial part of the skull require precision and precision from the surgeon. These parameters cannot be achieved without using new technologies. A new method of osteotomy is the preparation of piezoelectric surgical devices. This type of instrument performs bone resection using ultrasonic vibration. The use of ultrasound machines for bone tissue preparation will reduce the traumatic nature of surgery, make it possible to operate in hard-to-reach areas, perform modern osteotomy techniques, bone grafting in the maxillofacial region, reduce the frequency of postoperative complications, and shorten the rehabilitation time for patients after surgery. The purpose of the study is to substantiate, based on an analysis of the current regulatory framework and literary sources, the feasibility of introducing a piezoelectric surgical device into the standard equipment of departments of maxillofacial surgery, in particular when performing surgical interventions in bone tissue. Materials and methods. To achieve this goal, the documents regulating the activities and equipment of the department of maxillofacial surgery and the professional standard of a maxillofacial surgeon were studied. A statistical analysis of many literary sources in the databases of Russian scientific electronic libraries has been planned and carried out. eLIBRARY.ru and CyberLeninka, as well as in the English-language text database Pubmed. Findings. The integration of piezoelectric ultrasound surgical systems into the mandatory list of equipment for maxillofacial surgery departments will improve the quality of medical care, reduce the frequency of postoperative complications, and as a result help the patient recover faster after surgery.</jats:p>
