More Information
Summary:Computerized Surgical Planning (CSP) is a surgical tool that enables precise bony changes through the creation of custom cutting guides and/or custom plates. CSP has been shown to be a safe and effective tool in gender affirming facial surgery as well, specifically with regard to frontal sinus setback, zygomatic remodeling, genioplasty, and mandibular angle and body reshaping. CSP aids in trainee education, improves symmetry, reduces operative time, and can produce idealized results during complex revisions. Overall, CSP is a valuable tool in the field of gender affirming facial surgery that helps surgeons achieve optimal aesthetic and safety outcomes for patients.
