Plastic Surgery Applications Using Three-Dimensional Planning and Computer-Assisted Design and Manufacturing

Miles J Pfaff et al. Plast Reconstr Surg. 2016 Mar.

Abstract

Three-dimensional analysis and planning is a powerful tool in plastic and reconstructive surgery, enabling improved diagnosis, patient education and communication, and intraoperative transfer to achieve the best possible results. Three-dimensional planning can increase efficiency and accuracy, and entails five core components: (1) analysis, (2) planning, (3) virtual surgery, (4) three-dimensional printing, and (5) comparison of planned to actual results. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of three-dimensional virtual planning and to provide a framework for applying these systems to clinical practice.

Clinical question/level of evidence: Therapeutic, V.
