Computer-Assisted Planning in Craniofacial Surgery

This clinically focused medical reference covers the use of virtual planning, stereolithography, and navigation in modern craniofacial surgery, explaining when and how these technologies can be applied in practice. It traces the history and evolution of the techniques alongside their current applications, giving readers a clear picture of how intraoperative 3D imaging became a practical reality.

Each chapter follows a consistent structure: the history of the topic, current literature and applications, the key steps and techniques of virtual planning and navigation, and pearls and pitfalls shared by a master surgeon with expertise in that area. Preoperative photographs, postoperative results, radiological and computerized imaging, and clinical photos appear throughout, and potential postoperative complications are addressed.

Multidisciplinary perspectives from surgeons, physicists, engineers, and other industry leaders are included, offering a holistic view of computer-assisted planning. The first edition runs 248 pages and is delivered as an ePub with a converted PDF and MP4 video content.
