Area of Science:

  • * Medical technology
  • * Surgical innovation
  • * Digital health

Background:

  • * Augmented reality (AR) merges physical and digital worlds for surgical applications.
  • * Existing AR surgical planning often involves sophisticated and costly equipment.
  • * There is a need for accessible and affordable AR tools in perioperative planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • * To describe a novel method using smartphone AR for craniofacial surgery planning.
  • * To evaluate the convenience, cost-effectiveness, and time-saving benefits of this approach.
  • * To demonstrate the utility of smartphone AR in complex craniofacial cases.

Main Methods:

  • * Preoperative computed tomography (CT) images and 3D reconstructions were uploaded to a smartphone.
  • * An affordable application (Camera Lucida) superimposed these images onto the smartphone camera.
  • * AR was applied to guide fronto-orbital advancement and prioritize scalp coverage in complex cases.

Main Results:

  • * Smartphone AR provided accurate visualization for fronto-orbital advancement and remodeling.
  • * The method effectively prioritized areas for soft tissue reconstruction in complex craniosynostosis.
  • * The approach proved accurate in guiding surgical interventions.

Conclusions:

  • * Smartphone AR is a convenient and cost-effective tool for craniofacial surgical planning.
  • * This technology saves time and incurs minimal additional costs.
  • * AR adaptation offers a valuable, accessible solution for planning diverse craniofacial conditions.
