Digital technology precisely repairs head and neck soft tissue defects after tumor resection. This method enhances surgical accuracy and patient satisfaction, improving aesthetic and functional restoration.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Digital Imaging and Simulation

Context:

  • Head and neck tumor resection often results in significant soft tissue defects, impacting patient appearance and psychological well-being.
  • The intricate geometry of the head and neck presents challenges for accurate surgical reconstruction.
  • Current methods struggle to achieve precise aesthetic and functional restoration.

Purpose:

  • To develop and validate a digital precision repair technology for head and neck soft tissue defects.
  • To improve the accuracy and aesthetic outcomes of reconstructive surgery.
  • To enhance patient satisfaction through better functional and cosmetic results.

Summary:

  • A novel digital design method utilizing Gaussian curvature analysis and mechanical constraints was developed to map and reconstruct non-developable head and neck surfaces.
Keywords:
