[The application study of mimic operation with 3D-cut in maxillofacial bone tumor]
1Stomatology Center, Tongi Hospital, Tongji Medical University, Wuhan 430030, China.
Objective:
To study the feasibility of guiding operation planning and complication prevention.
Methods:
Ten patients suffer from Maxillofacial bone tumour were examined with spiral CT. Firstly, to get three-dimensional reconstructive image of tumour and other tissues. Secondly, use 3D-cut software to cut off every layer of normal tissue and tumour mass. Lastly, to compare virtual operation with mimic operation in virtual operation process.
Results:
Three-dimensional mimic operation clearly displays the relationship between tumor and surrounding tissues, reflect the actual operation condition.
Conclusions:
It is very useful designing operation program and predicting the potential complications before the actual operation.
