Area of Science:

  • Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Neurosurgery
  • Medical Technology

Background:

  • Neuronavigation is standard in neurosurgery but underutilized in maxillofacial reconstructive surgery.
  • Complex maxillofacial cases present unique challenges for surgical accuracy and invasiveness.

Observation:

  • This report details two cases: a complex gunshot wound facial injury and a skull base malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor.
  • Neuronavigation was employed in both cases to guide surgical procedures.

Findings:

  • Neuronavigation improved the accuracy of bony reduction in complex facial trauma.
  • It minimized surgical invasiveness in skull base tumor resection.

Implications:

  • Neuronavigation can be a valuable adjunct for complex maxillofacial reconstruction and tumor resection.
