Abstract
|
|
|
The clinical application of computer imaging which assists plasic surgeons in patient consultation and pe-operative planning has improved the objectivity for the better understanding about postoperative results.
An image of the specific feature which the patient desires can be digitalized on a color monitor. The patient and surgeon can discuss and evaluate the real goals of surgery as the image is manipulated on the screen.
This kind of computer system has already been utilized in U.S.A. and Janpan for the past few years at the relatively expansive cost. It has wide practical use in most case. But we have found that it is not functional mechanism on the procedure of double eyelid surgery.
However our venus? system can specially comparable with the actual functional mechanism of eyelid because we imputted the computer the statistical results that we had obtained from the pre-and post-operative anatomical changes of eyes. Practically any other esthetic procedures can also apply to this system such as augmentation or reduction rhino-plasty, facial bone surgery, breast surgery, and all kind of wrinkle surgery as well as other systems made in foreign countries. The limitation of this system is only the imagination of the surgeon.
We have used this system clinically to the patients for 63 cases of eyelid surgery, 58 cases of nostril surgery, 3 augmentation genioplasty and 2 facial bone surgery. The most of the patients (108/126) who used this system responded affirmatively, asserting it was very helpful in eliminating the pre-operative anxiousness about the surgical results.
