The aims of this study were to propose a minimally invasive lateral approach technique for maxillary sinus floor elevation (MSFE) with simultaneous implant placement and to evaluate the surgical outcome and complications of this technique. This study reviewed 49 surgeries of MSFE with simultaneous implant placement (n = 83) using a minimally invasive lateral approach. A circular shape window with a diameter of 5 to 6 mm and an area of 20–30 mm2 was made on the lateral wall of the maxillary sinus. After elevation of the Schneiderian membrane, the xenograft was used for bone grafting. The MSFE was possible with a minimum-sized window in 47 of 49 cases. For the remaining 2 cases, MSFE with a minimum-sized window was failed. In one case, it was expanded to be more than 30 mm2 to repair the membrane perforation. In another case, MSFE was performed by forming two minimum-sized windows. Post-operative bleeding after MSFE occurred in one anticoagulant-treated patient. There was no failed implant during the follow-up period (mean 22 months). A minimally invasive lateral approach through a small circular window with a diameter of 5 to 6 mm is a feasible and safe technique for MSFE with simultaneous implant placement.
