Abstract
Injury to the facial skeleton may result not only in aesthetic but also functional deficits. Computer-assisted surgery promises predictable reconstructive results. In clinical routine the authors use the combination of preoperative planning, intraoperative navigation and intraoperative imaging to treat complex facial trauma. With preoperative planning the intended reconstructive results can be precisely preplanned and guided intraoperatively using navigational surgery. Intraoperative imaging achieves the final intraoperative validation. Using computer-assisted surgery dislocation and malformation of fragments and transplants can be avoided in facial reconstruction. This means reliable quality control of surgical outcome and the number of further surgeries can be reduced in this complex reconstructive surgery.
