Mixed reality and three dimensional printed models for resection of maxillary tumor: a case report

Abstract

In the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery, many institutions have recently begun using three-dimensional printers to create three-dimensional models and mixed reality in a variety of diseases. Here, we report the actual situation model which we made using three-dimensional printer from virtual operation data and the resection that was performed while grasping a maxillary benign tumor and neighboring three-dimensional structure by designing an application for Microsoft® HoloLens, and using Mixed Reality surgery support during the procedure.
