: Mandibular reconstruction is one of the most complex procedures concerning the patient’s postoperative facial shape and occlusion condition. In this study, the authors integrated mixed reality, three-dimensional (3D) printing, and robotic-assisted navigation technology to complete the mandibular reconstruction in a novel and more accurate way. Mixed reality can visualize the significant anatomical structures of the operative area, but only be used in simulated operation by now. Three-dimensional printing surgical guide plate makes it easy to separate tissue, while imprecision often occurs due to the potential of displacement and deformation. In recent years, most robotic-assisted navigation surgery technology can only achieve precise position by 2D view on the screen but not realistic 3D navigation. in this study, the integrated 3 technologies were used in mandibular reconstruction. Preoperative imaging examination was performed, and the data were imported into the digital workstation before operation. First, the original data was edited and optimized to reconstruct the digital model and formulate the surgical plan. Then MR was used to output the visualized project and matched the 3D reconstruction model in reality. The 3D plate was printed for surgical guidance. Last, robotic-assisted navigation was used to guide and position the vascularized fibula autograft and the immediate dental implantation. In conclusion, the authors integrated the 3 technologies and constructed a new digital surgical procedure to improve surgical accuracy and simplify the procedure comparing with traditional surgery.

“…Although there have been several articles comparing different surgical techniques for epicanthal fold correction, previous studies have not compared the complications of different techniques. 15,[18][19][20] Since the causative factor of epicanthus was considered as the intermuscular connective tissue of the oblique-oriented preseptal OOM, the key operative step is orbicularis oculi manipulation. In our modified skin redraping technique, only a thin layer of OOM was released to expose the medial canthal tendon.…”

: The skin redraping method for medial epicanthoplasty is characterized by some shortcomings which warrants modification. In this study, clinical data of 193 patients who underwent medial epichanthoplasty by the modified skin redraping technique or the classic skin redraping technique were reviewed retrospectively. The patients underwent operation between May 2018 and June 2020 and were followed up for not less than 6 months. Interepicanthal distance, interpupillary distance, patient satisfaction, and postoperative complications were evaluated. In terms of interepicanthal distance/inter-pupillary distance ratio (P > 0.05) and satisfaction score (P = 0.759), the modified skin redraping technique and the classic skin redraping technique were similar. In the classic skin redraping group, there were 3 cases of visible scarring in the lower eyelid, corresponding to significantly more cases than in the modified skin redraping group (n = 0, P < 0.001). There were more out-fold cases in the modified skin redraping group (76/90) than in the classic skin redraping group (17/88) (P < 0.001). Utilizing the modified skin redraping medial epicanthoplasty can prevent medial hooding of the upper eyelid, reduce the probability of visible scarring, and produce more out-fold with concurrent double eyelidplasty compared with classic skin redraping epicanthoplasty. Level of evidence: IV
