Abstract:
Objective To summarize the use of the CT-guided mandibular angle plastic osteotomy.Methods The clinical data of mandibular angle plastic osteotomy were analyzed under the CT navigation in recent 3 years in our department.Thin-slice CT scans of the mandibular angle were performed before the operation.The CT data were input to the system of neuronavigation.The surgical procedures were then taken under the CT navigation.Results All of patients who received this new technology obtained good plastic effects and safe operation.The anatomic location accurately achieched with short operation time and less bleeding during the operation and distinct curative effect and fast recovery after operation.The effects of the treatment were fine.No visible complications occurred.Conclusions The CT navigation could fix accurately on position of important blood vessels and nerves which could be injured accidentally during operation and,of course,the safety of the operation is improved.The CT navigation can also determine the position and quantities of osteotomy from three dimensional angles,reduce effectively the surgical complications and the risk of surgery,reduce the psychological burden of patients efficiently and increase their confidence and credibility to the operation and surgeons.
