SUMMARY:From concept to care in facial trauma
DESCRIPTION:Abstract The surgical treatment of complex facial trauma requi
 res a high level of precision to restore the form and function of the face
  to the pre-trauma state. This demand for high accuracy\, combined with re
 stricted surgical access and surrounding critical anatomy has driven innov
 ation and implementation of medical technologies supporting preparation\, 
 execution\, and evaluation of facial trauma surgery. Advanced diagnostics\
 , virtual surgical planning\, patient-specific implants\, intraoperative i
 maging\, and surgical navigation can be applied individually or integrated
  into a comprehensive computer-assisted surgery workflow. Over the past de
 cade\, research at Amsterdam UMC has focused on developing\, validating\, 
 and implementing these technologies. This lecture will focus on the pathwa
 y from technological innovation to clinical implementation\, with particul
 ar attention to advances in surgical navigation and patient-specific impla
 nt design. Current challenges and future directions for further improving 
 the accuracy\, efficiency\, and applicability of computer-assisted surgery
  in facial trauma will also be explored.\\r\\nBiosketchRuud Schreurs studi
