Abstract
The applications of computer-generated modelling in surgery are increasing and diverse. Surgeons utilise these models for preoperative planning and intraoperative guidance. In this chapter, techniques for 3D reconstruction, including volume rendering, surface rendering, and voxel-based methods are described. We are discussing advantages and limitations of these techniques, and its impact on surgical and procedure planning. The models may improve surgical accuracy and efficiency, reduce intraoperative risks and ultimately improve patient outcomes. In complex procedures, such as craniofacial surgery or organ transplantation, 3D models provide unprecedented detail, aiding surgeons in navigating critical structures. We will also discuss the role of computer-generated models in surgical simulation and training. These models offer a safe and effective environment for surgeons to hone their skills and practice intricate procedures without risk to patients.
