Use of 5-aminolevulinic acid for visualization and resection of a benign pediatric brain tumor.

30 Oct 2009 5-Aminolevulinic acid has been used successfully to facilitate resection of adult malignant gliomas. The authors report their experience in the treatment of a 9-year-old girl who underwent fluorescence-guided resection of a right temporal lobe ... Read more...

Alternative applications of guided surgery: precise outlining of the lateral window in antral sinus bone grafting.

30 Oct 2009 Computed tomography (CT) and the application of CT-based guided implant surgery allow clinicians to provide enhanced precision and accuracy in implant surgery. Because of the difficulty in transferring a patient's often complex anatomic sinus ... Read more...

Modified animal model and computer-assisted approach for dentoalveolar distraction osteogenesis to reconstruct unilateral maxillectomy defect.

29 Sep 2009 PURPOSE: The purpose of this report is to show the establishment of an animal model with a unilateral maxilla defect, application of virtual reality and rapid prototyping in the surgical planning for dentoalveolar distraction osteogenesis (DO). ... Read more...
