Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Medical Technology
  • Surgical Planning

Background:

  • Bimaxillary orthognathic surgery corrects complex jaw discrepancies.
  • Traditional surgical planning methods can be time-consuming.
  • Efficiency in surgical planning is crucial for optimizing healthcare resources.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the efficiency of computer-aided surgical simulation (CASS) versus traditional methods for bimaxillary orthognathic surgery planning.
  • To evaluate total doctor time as a key metric for surgical planning efficiency.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of bimaxillary orthognathic surgery cases.
  • Comparison of planning time between CASS and traditional methods.
  • Measurement of total doctor time as the primary efficiency indicator.

Main Results:

  • Computer-aided surgical simulation (CASS) demonstrated an average time saving of 60 minutes per case.
  • Applying CASS to all 200 annual bimaxillary cases could save approximately 25 doctor days per year.
  • CASS is particularly beneficial for planning complex surgical cases.

Conclusions:

  • Computer-aided surgical simulation (CASS) significantly enhances efficiency in bimaxillary orthognathic surgery planning.
  • The time saved through CASS can be reallocated to other surgical activities, increasing departmental capacity.
  • CASS presents a valuable tool for optimizing surgical workflows and resource management in orthognathic surgery.
