Simulation Surgery Using 3D 3-layer Models for Congenital Anomaly.

ABSTRACT: We made realistic, three-dimensional, computer-assisted 3-layered elastic models of the face. The surface layer is made of polyurethane, the intermediate layer is silicone, and the deep layer is salt, representing the skin, subcutaneous tissue, and the bone. We have applied these 3-layer models to congenital anomaly cases and have understood that these models have a lot of advantages for simulation surgery.

Methods

We made 8 models. The models consisted of 2 models of 2 cases with Crouzon disease, 1 model of Binder syndrome, 1 model of facial cleft, 2 models of one case with Goldenhar syndrome, 1 model of cleft lip and palate, and 1 model of the hemifacial macrosomia.

Results

We could try several methods, could recognize whether the graft size is adequate, and could visualize
