Computer-Assisted Planning in Craniofacial Surgery

by Amir H. Dorafshar MBChB, FACS, FAAP, Joseph Lopez MD, Russell R. Reid MD,PhD

Overview

Recent advances in both scanning instruments and supporting software have made intraoperative 3D imaging a reality in today’s plastic and reconstructive surgery. Computer-Assisted Planning in Craniofacial Surgery provides authoritative, state-of-the-art information on when and how to apply technologies such as virtual planning, stereolithography, and navigation in the practice of craniofacial surgery. This unique, clinically focused title discusses the history and evolution of current techniques, extensively covers the application of current technologies, and includes multidisciplinary perspectives throughout, providing a comprehensive, holistic view of this important topic.

• Follows a standard format in each chapter: history of the topic, current literature and applications, key steps and techniques of virtual planning and navigation (with video), and pearls/pitfalls shared by a master surgeon with expertise in each particular area
• Includes preoperative photographs and postoperative results, radiological and computerized imaging, and clinical photos throughout
• Covers potential complications to be aware of in the postoperative period
• Offers expert perspectives on computer-assisted planning from surgeons, physicists, engineers, and other industry leaders
• An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud

About the Author

Amir H Dorafshar MBChB, FACS, FAAP is currently the Professor, Chief and Program Director of Plastic Surgery at Rush University Medical Center. Dr Dorafshar has distinguished himself as an national and international leading expert in microvascular reconstruction and adult and pediatric craniofacial surgery for congenital, oncological or traumatic conditions. During his early career at Johns Hopkins, he helped to further develop the fields of craniofacial microsurgery, virtual surgical planning in craniofacial surgery and bone tissue engineering. He has co-authored more than 140 indexed articles, written several book chapters and co-edited a textbook on facial trauma surgery. He is foremost recognized as a critical member of the team that performed a pioneering facial transplant at the University of Maryland and was subsequently named the clinical co-director of the facial transplantation program at Johns Hopkins

Russell R. Reid, MD PhD who is the Bernard G. Sarnat Professor of Surgery and Residency Program Director of Plastic Surgery at the University of Chicago Medicine, Dr Reid, is a highly skilled surgeon who specializes in pediatric plastic surgery. He is fellowship-trained in craniomaxillofacial surgery and has particular expertise in the area of surgery of the face, jaw, palate and skull. An accomplished author, Dr. Reid has published book chapters and several peer-reviewed journal articles on a variety of topics, from craniofacial surgery techniques to wound healing.
Dr. Reid's research interests include the regeneration of bone for the repair of complex craniofacial defects, the biology of skull and facial sutures, and genetic expression in craniofacial development. He also studies ways to improve diagnostic testing for craniofacial patients.
