Article Synopsis
- Pilomatrix carcinoma (PMC) is a rare and aggressive hair follicle tumor with high recurrence and metastasis risks, often stemming from benign pilomatricoma or arising independently.
- A study analyzed various surgical treatments for PMC by reviewing 257 articles from major databases, ultimately including 50 relevant studies, highlighting the effectiveness of different surgical methods.
- The findings revealed that Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) had no recurrences in 17 treated cases, while surgical excision resulted in a 34.5% recurrence rate, suggesting that MMS is a superior option to minimize recurrence and preserve tissue.
With the innovation of three-dimensional imaging and printing techniques, computer-aided surgical planning, also known as virtual surgical planning (VSP), has revolutionized orthognathic surgery. Designing and manufacturing patient-specific surgical guides using three-dimensional printing techniques to improve surgical outcomes is now possible. This article presents an overview of VSP in orthognathic surgery and discusses the advantages and accuracy of this technique compared to traditional surgical planning (TSP).
