The FACE AHEAD is a CMF Summit brought by the AO CMF, with more than 500 participants, and more than 40 of the most foremost craniomaxillofacial surgeons in the world, sharing their best-kept secrets in CMF surgery. The theme for 2024 is “Controversies in craniomaxillofacial surgery”

Brainlab is proud to showcase our latest innovations that support craniomaxillofacial surgery procedures ranging from planning software and mixed reality, to navigation and intraoperative imaging.

Brainlab Craniomaxillofacial Planning software automates the steps that can slow you down while enriching patient data in new ways to help you make informed decisions. You can plan swiftly and intuitively, no matter how complex the case.

Customize your planning with Brainlab Elements

Brainlab Elements are software applications designed to automate and simplify planning and case preparation. Completely customizable, you can choose which Elements fit your reconstruction needs, from interactive data review to atlas-based segmentation and mirroring of structures to vendor-neutral import of binary STL files. Add the functionalities that will help you most, since these applications all fit seamlessly into your existing workflows.

Mixed Reality takes your plan from the screen into the room a virtual space to experience your patient-specific plan
Utilize the latest visualization technology for patient consultation and medical education to better understand the surgical approach by diving inside the patient’s anatomy in hyper-realistic 3D and view objects previously segmented with Brainlab Elements.

Brainlab Craniomaxillofacial (CMF) Navigation enables you to achieve your desired outcomes for mid-facial reconstructions and tumor resections using real-time image-guided realization of the surgical plan. Clinicians can verify tumor removal, repositioned bone fragment and final implant positions. Intraoperative navigation and imaging allow you to stay on track throughout the procedure and be sure to avoid critical structures like the optic nerve.

Implant position verification with Replay

Compare planned to actual position of implants, mesh and bone fragments. With Replay navigation pointer functionality, you can intraoperatively trace and verify surfaces and landmarks to optimize positions of any biocompatible materials, all prior to fixation.

Intraoperative results control

CMF Navigation can be combined with imaging systems, like our Loop-X Mobile Imaging Robot and other third-party devices, for final quality control in the O.R., by automatically loading and fusing intraoperatively acquired scans with your preoperative plan for instant results verification of bones and implants.
