Colour stereolithography for planning complex maxillofacial tumour surgery.
High-precision anatomical facsimile models of the patients' skulls, individually produced by colour stereolithography, were used in the preoperative planning for seven patients with complex maxillofacial tumours. Selectively coloured models facilitated the management of ablative surgery and reconstructive procedures as well. The indicators for preoperative colour stereolithographic model planning concerning maxillofacial tumour surgery are discussed.
