Custom-made, 3D, intraoperative surgical guides for nasal reconstruction

Babar Sultan et al. Facial Plast Surg Clin North Am. 2011 Nov.

Abstract

This article presents the use of an intraoperative surgical guide created by 3D laser surface scanning and rapid prototyping. The authors present outcomes of 3 patients in whom the nasal surgical guide was used intraoperatively for reconstruction of full-thickness, complex nasal defects. This effort highlights the multidisciplinary approach involving a surgeon and anaplastologist integrated with the latest technology to provide patients with the best possible outcomes.
