Illustrated Manual of Orthognathic Surgery: Osteotomies of the Mandible

Volume One: Advances in 3D Imaging for Maxillofacial Surgery

This first volume in a multi-volume series explores the advancements in information and knowledge gained from preoperative and postoperative 3D imaging through new radiologic protocols in maxillofacial surgery, highlighting their implications for surgeons. It compares established standard techniques in orthognathic and maxillofacial surgery with fresh insights derived from years of experience and analysis within this subspecialty.

The book is intentionally structured to present clinical scenarios alongside graphic representations, enhancing understanding and emphasizing specific situations that can positively impact surgical planning and execution, ultimately helping to prevent undesirable outcomes. Graphic illustrations effectively convey the three-dimensional aspects of the complex mandibular splitting technique when text or radiographs alone may fall short.

There is currently no other resource that integrates clinical anatomical scenarios with pre- and postoperative preparation and clear explanations in this manner. This volume is designed for a broad audience, including students and professionals in oral and maxillofacial surgery, orthodontics, plastic and craniofacial surgery, and otolaryngology.
