Role of Virtual Surgery in Preoperative Planning

Preoperative planning of pelvic and acetabular surgery

Virtual endoscopy is a useful device for training and preoperative planning of transsphenoidal endoscopic pituitary surgery.

Virtual endoscopy (vE) allows simulated three-dimensional (3-D) visualisation of anatomical structures by computerised reconstruction of radiological images. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of vE and its potential benefits for endoscopic transsphenoidal pituitary surgery. vE was realised using a commercially available ray-casting software plugin of a picture archiving and ...

Virtual endoscopy for preoperative planning and training of endonasal transsphenoidal pituitary surgery

Virtual endoscopy is the navigation of a virtual camera through anatomy, computationally reconstructed from radiological data. Virtual endoscopy mimics physical minimally invasive surgical activity and is used for diagnosis (e.g., the detection of colon polyps), planning of endoscopic interventions, postoperative assessment of surgical success and training for inexperienced endoscopists. This t...

Virtual Surgical Planning in Orthognathic Surgery

Computer-aided surgical simulation has greatly enhanced the efficiency and accuracy of orthognathic surgery for correction of dentofacial deformities. Virtual surgical planning (VSP) improves the efficiency of the presurgical work-up and provides an opportunity to illustrate the multidimensional correction at the dental and skeletal level. VSP provides preoperative insight into the surgical int...

role of cultural iran in promotion of multilaieralism in central asia and caucasus

cultural iran is a scope that is more extended than the political territories of iran as a political unit. this concept means that cultural geography(mehdi moghanlo-1383-1) of iran is greater than its political geography which, according to history, has a long history extending west-east from kandahar to the euphrates and north-south from the persian gulf to the caucasus including transoxiana a...
