Virtual surgical planning at CRJ Institute leverages advanced technology to meticulously map and customize each jaw reconstruction, ensuring precise and personalized outcomes for every patient.
What Is Virtual Surgical Planning?
Virtual surgical planning (VSP) is a groundbreaking technique that brings together advanced imaging, computer modeling, and expert surgical insight to create a digital blueprint of the patient’s anatomy and planned procedure. Utilizing detailed CT scans and specialized software, our team at CRJ Institute can accurately visualize bone structures, jaw relationships, and potential implant positions. This allows us to identify challenges, anticipate potential adjustments, and ensure that every step of the surgery is meticulously coordinated. With VSP, we can rehearse a patient’s procedure virtually, selecting the optimal approach before entering the operating room. The VSP allows 3D printing of a replica of your skull and jaw, surgical cutting guides, as well as custom made titanium plates that allows the surgeons to perform the surgery exactly as it was rehearsed virtually. This results in shorter surgical times, fewer surprises during the procedure, and improved overall outcomes. Patients benefit from more predictable results, reduced discomfort, and faster recovery. By integrating virtual surgical planning into our practice, we continue to set new standards for efficiency, safety, and personalized care in the field of jaw reconstruction.
