“…Computed tomography (CT) is the imaging study of choice, and a 3D representation based on multiplanar algorithms (axial, coronal and sagittal reconstructions) is essential (32,33). However, the limited access to the periorbital region makes intraoperative imaging desirable, so that the surgeon can check the progress of the reconstruction at frequent intervals and ensure that the partial elements of the reconstruction are precisely coordinated and accurate in their details (34).…”

Background Management of orbital and mid-facial fractures requires a thorough ophthalmic evaluation and precise imaging. A principle goal of therapy is to anatomically reduce fracture segments and to restore a normal orbital volume as soon as possible. Diagnostic advances such as new surgical and imaging techniques have dramatically improved both the functional and aesthetic outcome of reconstructions.

“…Currently, images generated by 3D-rendition of the craniofacial complex are employed in a wide array of applications, including; (i) diagnosis and evaluation of extent of lesion [12,15], (ii) analysis of facial asymmetry [15,16], (iii) rapid prototyping for stereolithographic modeling [17], (iv) fabrication of customized implantable devices [18,19], (v) preoperative virtual surgery [5,9], (vi) generation and transfer of data for intraoperative navigation [20][21][22], (vii) presurgical assessment of potential recipient vessels for microvascular anastomosis near a resection site using 3D-CT angiogram [3], (viii) interactive discussion with patients for better understanding of the extent of disease and proposed surgery [10], and (ix) training of surgical residents in an educational environment [10]. By these applications, the surgeon is able to visualize the pathology in its entirety, assess its influence on the surrounding anatomy, determine the feasibility of resection, and concurrently plan the reconstruction of a defect.…”

Surgical correction of congenital and acquired facial deformities has transcended the primitive era of using non biologic materials to current attempts at own face growing through biotechnology. A summative account of this trend is still lacking in the literature. The objective of this article is to present an update on current knowledge in the strides to achieve functionally and aesthetically perfect facial reconstruction. It highlights the impact of advancements in 3D imaging, stereolithographic biomodelling, microvascular surgical tissue transplantation and tissue biotechnology in the surgical efforts to solve the problems of facial disfigurement whether congenital or acquired.

“…3.1 Three-dimensional rapid prototyping model, modeling clay, surgical guide, and pre-bent titanium mesh in reconstruction of the posttraumatic orbital floor 3.1.1 Introduction Different methods, surgical approaches, and materials (Schon et al, 2006;Kozakiewicz et al, 2009) were proposed for reconstruction of the posttraumatic orbital floor. Recently, the use of three-dimensional (3D) pre-bent titanium implants in a 3D rapid prototyping (3D RP) model was introduced (Kozakiewicz et al, 2009).…”
