Introduction and Aim: Surgical navigation has evolved as a vital tool in maxillofacial surgery, offering precise and patient-specific data. This study explores the clinical applications and accuracy of intraoperative tool tracking in maxillofacial surgery. (2) Materials and Methods: The research includes 42 patients with various pathologies who underwent surgeries assisted by a surgical navigation system using tracked instruments. Four representative cases are exhibited in the study: the first case involving coronoid hyperplasia with mouth opening deficit, the second case addressing naso-orbital-ethmoidal-frontal ossifying fibroma resection, the third case showcasing a subapical osteotomy (Köle) for a class III dentoskeletal malocclusion, and the fourth one exposing the treatment of a recurrent ameloblastoma. (3) Results: The results indicate that surgical navigation with tracked instruments provides high precision (<1.5 mm error), reduced surgical time, and a less invasive approach. (4) Conclusions: This study highlights the potential for reproducible outcomes and increased safety, especially in complex cases. Despite some limitations, the synergy between surgical navigation and tracked instruments offers a promising approach in maxillofacial surgery, expanding its applications beyond current practices.

Abstract

Introduction and Aim: Surgical navigation has evolved as a vital tool in maxillofacial surgery, offering precise and patient-specific data. This study explores the clinical applications and accuracy of intraoperative tool tracking in maxillofacial surgery. (2) Materials and Methods: The research includes 42 patients with various pathologies who underwent surgeries assisted by a surgical navigation system using tracked instruments. Four representative cases are exhibited in the study: the first case involving coronoid hyperplasia with mouth opening deficit, the second case addressing naso-orbital-ethmoidal-frontal ossifying fibroma resection, the third case showcasing a subapical osteotomy (Köle) for a class III dentoskeletal malocclusion, and the fourth one exposing the treatment of a recurrent ameloblastoma. (3) Results: The results indicate that surgical navigation with tracked instruments provides high precision (<1.5 mm error), reduced surgical time, and a less invasive approach. (4) Conclusions: This study highlights the potential for reproducible outcomes and increased safety, especially in complex cases. Despite some limitations, the synergy between surgical navigation and tracked instruments offers a promising approach in maxillofacial surgery, expanding its applications beyond current practices.
