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). A PubMed and Google Scholar search was conducted to find relevant articles published over the past 10 years. The search revealed 2,581 articles, of which 36 full-text articles specifically addressed the topic of this study. The review concludes that VSP in orthognathic surgery provides optimal functional and aesthetic results, enhances patient satisfaction, ensures precise translation of the treatment plan, and facilitates intraoperative manipulation.

Background/aim: HyperArc (HA) is an automated planning technique enabling single-isocenter brain stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT); however, dosimetric outcomes may be influenced by the planner's expertise. This study aimed to assess the impact of institutional experience on the plan quality of HA-SRT for both single and multiple brain metastases.

Materials And Methods: Twenty patients who underwent HA-SRT for single metastasis between 2020 and 2021 comprised the earlier group, while those treated between 2022 and 2024 constituted the later group.

Introduction: Hereditary bleeding disorders stem from the absence or insufficient levels of particular clotting proteins, essential for facilitating coagulation in the clotting cascade. Among the most prevalent are hemophilia A (deficiency of Factor VIII), hemophilia B (deficiency of Factor IX), and von Willebrand disease. Management of pharmacoresistant epilepsy is more difficult in a patient with bleeding disorder due to increased risk of bleeding during surgery.

Introduction And Clinical Importance: Placenta previa (PP) is characterized by abnormal placental placement in the lower uterine segment, obstructing the cervical opening. Placenta previa totalis (PPT) occurs when the placenta completely covers the internal cervical os. This condition can lead to placenta accreta spectrum (PAS), where the placenta adheres abnormally to the uterine wall, complicating separation.
