Orbit Segmentation for Cranio- Maxillofacial Surgery Planning

Surgical navigation in cranio-maxillofacial surgery

Introduction Surgical navigation is well-established in today’s cranio-maxillofacial surgery. However, it is often associated with extra effort for both patient and surgeon and with additional exposure to radiation due to necessary extra imaging. The cranio-orbitofacial structures are challenging with respect to accurate three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction. A virtual plan based on mirrored pa...

Recent advances in the reconstruction of cranio-maxillofacial defects using computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing

With the development of computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology, it has been possible to reconstruct the cranio-maxillofacial defect with more accurate preoperative planning, precise patient-specific implants (PSIs), and shorter operation times. The manufacturing processes include subtractive manufacturing and additive manufacturing and should be selected in cons...

Accuracy of secondary maxillofacial reconstruction with prefabricated fibula grafts using 3D planning and guided reconstruction.

BACKGROUND We compared the pre-operative 3D-surgical plan with the surgical outcome of complex two-stage secondary reconstruction of maxillofacial defects using inserted implants in the prefabricated fibula graft. METHODS Eleven reconstructions of maxillofacial defects with prefabricated fibulas were performed using a 3D virtual planning. Accuracy of placement of the fibula grafts and dental ...

Application of Virtual Surgical Planning with Computer Assisted Design and Manufacturing Technology to Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery

Computer aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology today is the standard in manufacturing industry. The application of the CAD/CAM technology, together with the emerging 3D medical images based virtual surgical planning (VSP) technology, to craniomaxillofacial reconstruction has been gaining increasing attention to reconstructive surgeons. This article illustrates the components, syst...
