Abstract
Background: Performing rhinoplasty in patients with craniofacial malformations remains a challenge, even for experienced surgeons. Advances in 3-dimensional technology and their application in surgical planning and printing of cutting guides and splints have become important tools for improving aesthetic and functional results.
Objectives: The aim of this preliminary report was to describe an in-house workflow for surgical planning and printing of cutting guides and splints for complex rhinoplasty cases.
Methods: An in-house workflow for complex rhinoplasty was described, as applied in the maxillofacial department of a children's hospital specializing in the treatment of cleft and craniofacial malformations.
Results: Customized surgical guides helped the surgeon harvest and mold potential septal and costochondral grafts more accurately, reduced surgical time, and verified the dimensions of the sculpted nasal shape following surgical planning templates. Patient satisfaction according to the Rhinoplasty Outcome Evaluation questionnaire was 18/24.
Conclusions: The presented workflow represents a potential asset for obtaining more accurate and satisfactory results in complex rhinoplasties.
