Velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI), which is the incomplete closure of the velopharyngeal valve during speech, is a typical poor outcome that should be evaluated after cleft palate repair. The interpretation of VPI considering both imaging analysis a...
Reconstructing facial deformities is often challenging due to the complex 3-dimensional (3D) anatomy of the craniomaxillofacial skeleton and overlying soft tissue structures. Bilateral injuries cannot benefit from mirroring techniques and as such pre...
Blowout fractures are a common type of facial injury that requires accurate measurement of the fracture area for proper treatment planning. This systematic review aimed to summarize and evaluate the current methods for measuring blowout fracture area...
Brain abscess is rare in clinic, the reported incidence is only 0.4 to 0.90 per 100,000 population, and most of them have a history of prodromal infection. Headache and fever are the most common clinical symptoms, and only a few are accompanied by ne...
Deep learning algorithms based on automatic 3-dimensional (D) cephalometric marking points about people without craniomaxillofacial deformities has achieved good results. However, there has been no previous report about cleft lip and palate. The purp...
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to observe the accuracy and security of the craniomaxillofacial plastic surgery robot in congenital craniosynostosis surgery and to enhance and improve its performance.
OBJECTIVE: Manual contouring of cartilage for nasal reconstruction is tedious and time-consuming. The use of a robot could improve the speed and precision of the contouring process. This cadaveric study evaluates the efficiency and accuracy of a robo...
This study aimed to investigate the feasibility and accuracy of osteotomy and distractor placement using a robotic navigation system in a model surgical experiment of mandibular distraction osteogenesis for hemifacial microsomia. Imaging data from 5 ...
