Area of Science:

  • Medical Simulation
  • Surgical Planning
  • Cost-Benefit Analysis

Background:

  • Complex cranio-maxillofacial (CMF) surgery requires meticulous planning.
  • Traditional surgical planning methods can be time-consuming and costly.
  • Computer-aided surgical simulation (CASS) offers a potential alternative.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the economic viability and benefits of CASS.
  • To compare CASS with conventional planning for complex CMF procedures.
  • To determine if CASS offers advantages in speed, cost, and outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative analysis of CASS versus standard surgical planning.
  • Cost assessment including surgeon time, patient time, and material expenses.
  • Data gathered through author experience and a survey of 6 experienced CMF surgeons.

Main Results:

  • CASS significantly reduces surgeon planning time (5.25 vs. 9.75 hours).
  • Material and scanning costs are lower with CASS ($1,900 vs. $3,510).
  • Patient planning time is reduced by over 50% with CASS (2.25 vs. 4.75 hours).

Conclusions:

  • CASS presents a faster and more economical approach to complex CMF surgery planning.
  • The benefits of CASS extend to both high-volume and low-volume surgical settings.
  • CASS demonstrates comparable or superior outcomes to traditional methods, aligning with criteria for innovative surgical designs.
