The cancers which affect the throat, mouth, sinuses or nose are classified as head and neck cancers. There are various treatment options for this type of cancer such as surgery, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy and chemotherapy. Surgical treatment involves removing the cancerous tumor and some surrounding healthy tissue. One of the major advancements in head and neck cancer surgery is virtual surgical planning (VSP). It refers to a type of pre-operative planning technique that uses 3D imaging computer software to visualize a surgical procedure. 3D reconstruction of complex head and neck cancers can reveal crucial details like tumor location, range of invasion and blood supply. It also offers the possibility of preoperative simulation for complex defect repair. This book aims to shed light on some of the advancements in surgical otolaryngology related to head and neck cancer surgery. The readers would gain knowledge that would broaden their perspective in this area of medicine.

This color atlas and manual provides clinicians with systematic, standardized, but also individualized step-by-step guidance on 3D virtual diagnosis, treatment planning, and outcome assessment in patients undergoing orthognathic surgery for maxillofacial deformities. Drawing on 20 years of experience, the authors elucidate the clinical potential of the approach while also highlighting current pitfalls and limitations. The opening two chapters discuss the 3D imaging workflow and its integration into daily clinical routine and comprehensively describe cone-beam CT virtual diagnosis. The stepwise 3D virtual planning of orthognathic surgery and transfer of the 3D virtual treatment plan to the patient in the operating room are then thoroughly explained, and the unprecedented potential of 3D virtual evaluation of treatment outcome, documented. Finally, after provision of all this essential background information, the closing chapter illustrates the application of the 3D virtual approach in different types of maxillofacial deformity. Orthodontists and orthognathic and orthofacial surgeons will find 3D Virtual Treatment Planning of Orthognathic Surgery to be a superb guide and resource.

Surgery for head neck cancer has evolved greatly in the recent years. Appropriate surgical resection with negative margins still remain corner-stone in achieving good oncological outcome. This atlas proposes a new concept of " The Compartment Surgery " to achieve negative margins in third dimensions which is the problem area in majority of cases. Reconstructive techniques have evolved vastly in the recent years with use of microvascular free flaps and this has significantly improved the functional outcome. Performing each step in appropriate manner cumulatively enables us to perform more complex procedures. Theme of this atlas revolves around this fact. This atlas on head and neck cancers takes a fresh stylistic approach where each surgical procedure is described in a step-wise manner through labeled high-resolution images with minimal incorporation of text. This allows the surgeons to rapidly revise the operative steps of a procedure within minutes just before they start a surgery. Head and neck has multidimensional anatomy and surgical treatment requires specific approach for each subsite. This operative atlas covers the entire spectrum of common, uncommon and rare cancers of the head and neck area. Each subsite is addressed in a separate chapter with further subdivisions for surgery of tumors with varying extent. Each procedure is demonstrated with photographs of each surgical step and line diagrams. Commonly used flaps (regional and free flaps) are demonstrated in separate chapter for reconstruction. With over 1000 images, and coverage of both the ablative and reconstructive surgical procedures, this is a technique-focused atlas in comparison to the available comprehensive texts. There are two chapters on very advanced cancers, and surgery in resource constrained surgical units making the book relevant to a wide range of cancer surgeons and fellows-in-training in varied clinical settings.

Recent advances in both scanning instruments and supporting software have made intraoperative 3D imaging a reality in today’s plastic and reconstructive surgery. Computer-Assisted Planning in Craniofacial Surgery provides authoritative, state-of-the-art information on when and how to apply technologies such as virtual planning, stereolithography, and navigation in the practice of craniofacial surgery. This unique, clinically focused title discusses the history and evolution of current techniques, extensively covers the application of current technologies, and includes multidisciplinary perspectives throughout, providing a comprehensive, holistic view of this important topic. Follows a standard format in each chapter: history of the topic, current literature and applications, key steps and techniques of virtual planning and navigation (with video), and pearls/pitfalls shared by a master surgeon with expertise in each particular area.

This special issue focuses on using New Technologies in Head and Neck Oncologic and Reconstructive Surgery. Virtual surgical planning and design, CAD/CAM modeling, and surgical navigation techniques have contributed to simplifying and improving the accuracy of this specific type of surgery. These technologies have gained significant acceptance in oncologic applications. Reconstructive surgery provides many benefits since the surgical precision required to restore facial symmetry, appearance, and function is a complex challenge, and the three-dimensional (3D) position is difficult to control, especially in extensive bony defects. Virtual surgical planning and computer-aided design (CAD) allow preplanning of the oncologic resection, flap dimensions, and osteotomies in the bone flap. Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) cutting guides allow surgeons to accurately perform planned resections and osteotomies, which has improved the precision, accuracy, and reliability of the results of bone resections and reconstructions. Surgical navigation has improved reliability and outcomes by providing real-time feedback to the surgeon. Finally, it is important to highlight how implementing all these new technologies improves patients' quality of life.

Digital technologies are changing the way that surgeons operate. They are revolutionizing the ability of surgeons to visualize, plan, and create rapid prototyped models and patient- specific implants for the broad disciplines of ENT, plastic, oral and maxillofacial surgeons. This book provides information on the latest digital technologies available for craniomaxillofacial surgery, discussing how this technology allows for preplanned procedures with improved and superior outcomes. Rather than improvise during surgery, surgery and its procedures can be preconceptualized with superior outcomes and decreased patient morbidity.
