Virtual surgical planning for orbital reconstruction

Abstract: The advent of computer-assisted technology has revolutionized planning for complex craniofacial operations, including orbital reconstruction. Orbital reconstruction is ideally suited for virtual planning, as it allows the surgeon to assess the bony anatomy and critical neurovascular structures within the orbit, and plan osteotomies, fracture reductions, and orbital implant placement with efficiency and predictability. In this article, we review the use of virtual surgical planning for orbital decompression, po… Show more

“…The RP technique involves (1) CT scanning, (2) CT data processing and virtual 3D model creation, and (3) model production by RP, all of which takes approximately 120 minutes [ 2 ]. Virtual 3D modeling can determine the location and size of the orbital cavity defects and the anatomy of individual patients, and preoperative virtual surgical planning may enable greater accuracy in reconstructed contour [ 10 20 ]. Three-dimensional measurements are used to determine the variations in the orbital cavity volume, predict potential enophthalmos, even at the early stage of injury, and help determine the operability.…”

“…It allows a surgeon to visualize bony changes, to perform measurements to assure adequate positioning of the bony segments, and to accurately design custom-made facial implants. [19][20][21] Also, and possibly most important, the patient was made part of this planning session and could visualize the improvements and limitations preoperatively.…”
