Virtual Reality Simulation and Augmented Reality-Guided Surgery for Total Maxillectomy: A Case Report

Abstract: With the improvement in computer graphics and sensors, technologies like virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) have created new possibilities for developing diagnostic and surgical techniques in the field of surgery. VR and AR are the latest technological modalities that have been integrated into clinical practice and medical education, and are rapidly emerging as powerful tools in the field of maxillofacial surgery. In this report, we describe a case of total maxillectomy and orbital floor reconstru… Show more

“…For converting the DICOM data obtained from medical scanning (e.g., CBCT) and generating a surface mesh (Stereolithography file format -STL), an image editing program is used, with a threshold tool allowing a range of values to be set from the data to be retained while ignoring data that falls outside the range [13,83]. This is a very useful tool for retaining or removing areas of interest, corresponding to the density values of tissue types [84], and due to recent advances in segmentation software, it can be done automatically or semiautomatically [85]. Commercially available software was preferred, with Mimics (Materialise, Belgium) being used in most of the published reports [22,31,42,43,46,54,60].…”

“…Hee‐Jin Kim et al. performed total excision of the left maxilla under the guidance of augmented reality by pasting the image target on the patient's forehead to remove malignant fibrous histiblastoma 15 . The advantage is that there are fewer incision and dissection, but the camera is fixed in position and cannot match the operator's field of view perfectly.…”

“…A literature review shows that the effectiveness of VR has been helpful in increasing surgery success rates [ 31 , 32 ] and improving police safety when on duty [ 33 ], and it has effectively been used in earthquake safety training [ 34 ], fire extinguisher training [ 13 ], fire and rescue training [ 35 , 36 ], and in increasing adherence to meditation practices [ 37 ]. Most academic research on simulations involves the use of head mounted displays (HMD), and the sound comes from headphones on both sides.…”
