A Novel Protocol for Planning and Navigation in Craniofacial Surgery: A Preclinical Surgical Study

In modern craniofacial surgery, the accuracy of osteotomies plays a central role in surgical technique. To reach a higher level of accuracy, many centers use virtual presurgical planning. In the past decade, some surgeons also have applied navigational approaches to craniofacial procedures. In this work, a novel protocol for surgical planning and intraoperative navigation is described and validated in a preclinical setting to determine its...
