Fronto-orbital advancement with patient-specific 3D-printed implants and robot-guided laser osteotomy: an in vitro accuracy assessment
This in vitro study showcases a novel FOA technique by effectively combining robot-guided laser osteotomy with 3D-printed patient-specific implants, eliminating the need for surgical templates and achieving high accuracy in bone cutting and positioning. The workflow holds promise for reducing preoperative planning time and increasing surgical efficiency. Further studies on bone tissue are required to validate the safety and effectiveness of this approach, especially in addressing the challenges of pediatric craniofacial surgery.
