Summary: Primary mitral regurgitation is a common valvular disease with significant impact on patients' quality of life, morbidity, and mortality. Surgical treatment is considered the best therapeutic strategy for severe MR, with pre-operative echocardiographic evaluation playing a crucial role in patient selection and post-operative complication prevention. Collaboration between cardiologists and cardiac surgeons is essential for optimizing surgical planning and achieving successful outcomes.

Summary: A co-registration method of CBCT and photo images was developed to generate realistic facial image reconstruction for orthognathic surgical planning. The study showed that orthodontists considered the three-dimensional model obtained to be realistic and of high quality. This method may enhance the predictability of surgical-orthognathic planning.

Summary: Craniomaxillofacial (CMF) surgery is a challenging field, and Virtual Surgical Planning (VSP) has revolutionized the way surgeries are planned and executed. This review examines studies on the use of VSP in CMF surgery and finds that VSP offers advantages in terms of duration, predictability, and clinical outcomes.

Summary: This meta-analysis evaluated the short-term efficacy and safety of the three-dimensional reconstruction visualization technology (3D-RVT) technique in hepatectomy. The results showed that 3D-RVT significantly shortened operation times, reduced intraoperative bleeding and blood transfusion volume, shortened hospital stays, and reduced the use of hepatic inflow occlusion and overall postoperative complications. Thus, 3D-RVT is safe and effective for liver surgery.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the soft tissue prediction accuracy of the Simplant O&O software. By analyzing preoperative and 4-month postoperative CT data and intraoral scans, it was found that the software's soft tissue prediction error was within clinically acceptable limits for skeletal type III patients. Despite some limitations, it can be concluded that Simplant O&O is adequate for accurately predicting soft tissue changes in clinical practice.

Summary: This study investigated the fracture mechanics and stress distribution of the midline palatal suture under different expansion methods for maxillary transverse deficiency. The results showed that maxillary lateral osteotomy-assisted expansion and LeFort I osteotomy-assisted expansion had faster stress accumulation rates and shorter fracture times compared to nonsurgical expansion. Lateral osteotomy could be considered as a substitute for LeFort I osteotomy due to lower trauma and complications.

Summary: Recent advances in CT hardware and software have improved the accuracy of imaging occlusal anatomy. This study evaluated the accuracy of CT-based modeling of teeth by comparing CT models to optical scanning models. The results showed that CT models underestimated the contours at cusp tips and overestimated the contours in occlusal grooves. The use of bone reconstruction algorithms and decreased model smoothing improved the accuracy of the models but resulted in more surface noise.

Summary: The study proposed a method to estimate a patient-specific reference bone shape model using 3D face reconstruction and deformable shape model. Results showed that the patient's abnormal facial bony structure can be recovered using this method and was considered clinically acceptable.

Summary: This study evaluated the dimensional stability of five different resin/printer combinations (RPCs) after 3D printing and steam autoclaving. The results show that most of the surgical guides experienced minor but significant shrinkage due to both 3D printing and steam autoclaving, with variations observed between different RPCs.
