3D Printing in Augmented Reality Navigation in Craniomaxillofacial/Head and Neck Surgery

 

E Brandon Strong 1, Anuj Patel 1, Alexander P Marston 1, Cameron Sadegh 2, Jeffrey Potts 3, Darin Johnston 4, David Ahn 4, Shae Bryant 4, Michael Li 1, Osama Raslan 5, Steven A Lucero 6, Marc J Fischer 7, Marike Zwienenberg 2, Neha Sharma 8 9, Florian Thieringer 8 9, Christian El Amm 3, Kiarash Shahlaie 2, Marc Metzger 10, E Bradley Strong 1

 

Objective: This study aims to (1) develop an augmented reality (AR) navigation platform for craniomaxillofacial (CMF) and head and neck surgery; (2) apply it to a range of surgical cases; and (3) evaluate the advantages, disadvantages, and clinical opportunities for AR navigation.

​Abstract: Background: Patients may be educated about facial fractures using two-dimensional computed tomography (2DCT); however, three-dimensional mixed reality (3DMR) goggles may improve patient education by delivering content in an immersive environment. Objective: To compare the effectiveness of 2DCT and 3DMR formats used for patient education on facial fractures, as measured by surveys. Methods: In this prospective, randomized, crossover study, video tutorials intended for facial fracture informed consent were created in 2DCT and 3DMR formats from a single CT data set of a zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fracture. more

Improving Patient Education of Facial Fractures Using 3-Dimensional Computed Tomography

Peter Wickwire 1, Sukhraj Kahlon 2, Soroush Kazemi 3, Travis Tollefson 1, Toby Steele 1, Jennifer Chang 2, Bradley Strong 1

​

Abstract: Objective: Advances in 3-dimensional modeling have revolutionized presurgical planning for maxillofacial reconstruction, yet little is known about how this technology may affect patient education. This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of 2-dimensional computed tomography versus 3-dimensional computed tomography for patient education in maxillofacial reconstruction. more

Abstract: Background: Three-dimensional (3D) printing has allowed great progression in the medical field. In otolaryngology practice, 3D printing can be used for planning in case of malformation/complex surgery, for surgeon training, and for recreating missing tissues. This systematic review aimed to summarize the current benefits and the possible future application of 3D technologies in the otolaryngology field. Methods: A systematic review of articles that discuss the use of 3D printing in the otolaryngology field ... more
