First-Hand Experience and Result with New Robot-Assisted Laser LeFort-I Osteotomy in Orthognathic Surgery: A Case Report

Background: We report the world’s first developer-independent experience with robot-assisted laser Le Fort I osteotomy (LLFO) and drill-hole marking in orthognathic surgery. To overcome the geometric limitations of conventional rotating and piezosurgical instruments for performing osteotomies, we us...

description Background: We report the world’s first developer-independent experience with robot-assisted laser Le Fort I osteotomy (LLFO) and drill-hole marking in orthognathic surgery. To overcome the geometric limitations of conventional rotating and piezosurgical instruments for performing osteotomies, we used the stand-alone robot-assisted laser system developed by Advanced Osteotomy Tools. The aim here was to evaluate the precision of this novel procedure in comparison to the standard procedure used in our clinic using a computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) cutting guide and patient-specific implant. Methods: A linear Le-Fort-I osteotomy was digitally planned and transferred to the robot. The linear portion of the Le-Fort I osteotomy was performed autonomously by the robot under direct visual control. Accuracy was analyzed by superimposing preoperative and postoperative computed tomography images, and verified intraoperatively using prefabricated patient-specific implant. Results: The robot performed the linear osteotomy without any technical or safety issues. There was a maximum difference of 1.5 mm on average between the planned and the performed osteotomy. In the robot-assisted intraoperative drillhole marking of the maxilla, which was performed for the first time worldwide, were no measurable deviations between planning and actual positioning. Conclusion: Robotic-assisted orthognathic surgery could be a useful adjunct to conventional drills, burrs, and piezosurgical instruments for performing osteotomies. However, the time required for the actual osteotomy as well as isolated minor design aspects of the Dynamic Reference Frame (DRF), among other things, still need to be improved. Still further studies for final evaluation of safety and accuracy are also needed.
