Abstract: Lateral window technique for sinus floor elevation is an effective surgical method to solve the lack of bone mass in the posterior maxilla after tooth loss. The technical sensitivity is high. The most common intraoperative complications include bleeding and maxillary sinus membrane perforation. If the surgical risk is not fully evaluated or the intraoperative complications are not properly handled, it may lead to surgical failure and compromised long-term effects of implantation. In this article a literature review will be conducted on the influencing factors, prevention and management of intraoperative complications related to lateral fenestration of lateral window technique for sinus floor elevation procedure.

Key words: Lateral window technique for sinus floor elevation, Maxillary sinus membrane perforation, Intraoperative complication, Implantology
