Summary
Navigated surgery improves outcomes for craniofacial malformations. This case study shows its use in correcting anterior plagiocephaly with frontorbital bandeau remodeling for precise instrument and bandeau placement.
Area of Science:
- Neurosurgery
- Craniofacial Surgery
- Medical Technology
Background:
- Craniofacial malformations require precise surgical correction.
- Navigated surgery offers enhanced accuracy in complex procedures.
- Anterior plagiocephaly presents unique challenges in frontorbital reconstruction.
Observation:
- A case of anterior plagiocephaly was treated using frontorbital bandeau remodeling.
- Surgical navigation was employed during osteotomy and repositioning phases.
- Virtual simulation guided the surgical plan and instrument positioning.
Findings:
- Navigation ensured accurate osteotomy instrument placement.
- The frontorbital bandeau was precisely repositioned according to the surgical plan.
- Navigated surgery facilitated optimal results in correcting the malformation.
Implications:
- Navigated surgery is a valuable tool for treating craniofacial malformations.
- This technique enhances precision and predictability in frontorbital reconstruction.
- Improved outcomes can be achieved in complex pediatric neurosurgery cases.

In general, a schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...
