Augmented reality in facial plastic & reconstructive surgery: A systematic review
Date:
This poster discussed the applications, uses, and limitations of augmented reality (AR) in facial plastics and reconstructive surgery (FPRS). The most significant areas of application are within hard tissue reconstructions such as orthognathic surgery and trauma. AR has a significant applications in preoperative planning, intraoperative guidance, and postoperative assessment. The most common AR modality is head-mounted display, with computer-assisted design (CAD)/computer-assisted modification (CAM) and mobile app/monitor following closely behind. Soft tissue AR visualization, manual registration not keeping up with tissue rearrangement, and AR availability/unfamiliarity are challenges for AR applications in FPRS to break past its predominantly preclinical stage.
