3D-Aided Manufacturing of Nose Prosthesis after Total Rhinectomy

Abstract

A 75-year-old woman treated for T3N0M0 nodular basal cell carcinoma on the nose with erosion. Plastic surgeons reconstructed a total rhinectomy defect with a free flap. Pre surgery CT scans was used in collaboration with in-house 3D engineers to regenerate a mirrored image for the anaplastologists to create the prosthesis.
