Outcome and Quality of Life after Individual Computer-AssistedReconstruction of the Midface

Abstract

Often, midfacial defects are not only relevant regarding functional aspects but also esthetics of such congenital or acquired deformities impair significantly the patients’ quality of life. Reconstructions of the midface do not only include replacing lost or non-developed tissue but moreover to achieve predictable results with regard to esthetics as well as function for the individual patient. Digital planning modalities including different surface and volume data in combination with modern additive manufacturing techniques for biomodel and implant production and intraoperative support by using real and virtual 3D volume data for navigation and intraoperative imaging, but also securing the outcome based on postoperative analysis have been implemented in modern midface reconstruction and represent new standards for medical care. The objective of this paper is to describe modern options of patient-specific midfacial reconstruction with integration of computer-assisted planning and production techniques.
