Abstract:
Clinical application of imaging technology (e.g., CT, MRI and DSA) in craniomaxillofacial surgery, genetic detection and analysis, three-dimensional visualization of panoramic anatomy, rapid and accurate molding of craniofacial skeletal models, precise designing and manufacturing technology, intraoperative real-time navigation system, and the remote consultation system aided by information network technology effectively improve the diagnosis and treatment of craniomaxillofacial malformation.Application of rigid internal fixation improves the stability and accuracy of the fracture treatmentand osteotomy. With the research and application of distraction osteogenesis(DO) in craniomaxillofacial surgery, DO in Le Fort III osteotomy and treatment on hemifacialmicrosomiareduce postoperative recurrence significantly. The combination of craniomaxillofacial surgery and advanced technology of related medical and engineering disciplines has promoted the development of craniomaxillofacial surgery.
