Marxera Operation

The Marxer operation is a surgical procedure named after the German surgeon Friedrich Marxer (1885-1964). This operation is used to treat fractures of the lower jaw.

During the operation, the surgeon makes an incision under the lower lip, exposing the lower jaw. The broken jaw fragments are then connected with a metal plate and screws. This allows you to quickly and reliably fix bone fragments. The plate remains in the jaw permanently.

Marxer surgery is indicated for severe fractures of the lower jaw, when it is impossible to perform closed reduction. It allows you to restore the anatomical shape and function of the jaw.

Complications after Markser surgery are rare. Sometimes inflammation or rejection of the plate is possible. Correctly performed surgery provides good aesthetic and functional results.

Marker surgery is a unique surgical procedure developed by German surgeon Karl Marx at the beginning of the 20th century. He is widely recognized as one of the founders of modern gynecology and genital surgery in general.

Marxer, born in Dresden in 1868, grew up in a fairly simple family. However, already at a young age he showed great interest in medicine and decided to become a doctor. In 1902, he received his doctorate in medicine and began working at the university, where he practiced surgery.

It was then, in 1913, that the Marker operation, which was originally called Oxiomnogography, appeared. This method was created to increase pelvic volume in women suffering from pelvic floor insufficiency. This problem is quite common, and Marker's operation was one of the first in the treatment of such a disease.

The essence of the operation was to widen the vaginal opening to relieve pressure on the bladder, intestines and other organs. Marker proposed two main procedures: the first he called oxiomic, and the second - vaginoplasty. The Oxiom procedure was the first in a series of operations and involved excision of part of the pubic bones and the large fibrous circle located in front of the hymen and pubis. These bones were cut to make room for the vagina to expand and relieve pressure on the pelvic organs. Vaginoplasty surgery was the second stage of Marker's surgery, and his goal was to improve the vagina by restoring the normal biological type of muscles and tissues.
