[The development and recent status of the craniomaxillofacial surgery in China during past three decades].

The authors made a profound review on the development and the recent status of craniomaxillofacial surgery in China during past three decades. The emphases were placed on the following aspects: the modifications of the reconstructive procedure and minimal invasive mode, the researches on molecular genetic characteristics of the congenital craniofacial malformations, the clinical applications of three-dimensional digital computer-aided techniques (including three-dimensional printing and prefabricated template for precious osteotomies), the craniomaxillofacial defects reconstructing by using the distraction osteogenesis and osseous integrated titanium implant and prothesis, etc. Finally, the authors outlooked prospectively the future trends of the craniomaxillofacial surgery.该文对近三十年来中国颅颌面外科的发展和现况作了全面述评，重点总结了先天性颅面畸形的手术改进和微创化、先天性颅面畸形的分子遗传学研究、3D 打印和手术模板导航等三维数字化技术的应用、牵引成骨技术以及种植赝复体修复重建技术对学科发展的促进等。最后对颅颌面外科未来的发展趋势作了展望。.
