The complex three-dimensional (3D) anatomy in facial allotransplantation creates a unique challenge for surgical reconstruction. Evolution of virtual surgical planning (VSP) through computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing has advanced reconstructive outcomes for many craniomaxillofacial indications. Surgeons use VSP, 3D models, and surgical guides to analyze and to trial surgical approaches even prior to entering the operating room. This workflow allows the surgeon to plan osteotomies and to anticipate challenges, which improves surgical precision and accuracy, optimizes outcomes, and should reduce operating room time. We present the development, evolution, and utilization of VSP and 3D-printed guides in facial allotransplantation at our institution, from guide conception to first clinical case.
