Utilization of Intraoperative CT in Craniomaxillofacial Trauma Surgery

The utilization of technology to aid in assessment, planning and management of complex craniomaxillofacial injuries is increasingly common. Pre-operative CT evaluation is considered standard of care and intraoperative imaging is becoming increasingly accessible. Limited data exists regarding the implication of intraoperative CT on decision making in management of all sites of facial fractures. The purpose of this study was to characterize the utilization of the intraoperative CT scanner for craniomaxillofacial surgery within our institution, to quantify the effect of intraoperative CT on surgical decision-making and to attempt to provide guidance on when to utilize this technology.
