Background The purpose of this study was to assess the usefulness and accuracy of preoperative 3D virtual simulation of anterolateral craniofacial resection in cases of advanced sinonasal sinus carcinoma. Methods Seven patients with advanced (T4 classification) sinonasal sinus carcinoma who underwent anterolateral craniofacial resection in our hospital between 2011 and 2013 were included in this study. Postsimulation CT images were fused with postoperative CT images and differences between the planned and actual osteotomy were measured in 3 regions of the skull base. Results The differences ranged from 0 mm to 5.8 mm (average, 3.1 mm) at the inferior wall of the cavernous sinus, from 0.8 mm to 8.3 mm (average, 3.5 mm) at the inferior wall of the sphenoid sinus, and from 0 mm to 13.6 mm (average, 2.3 mm) in the palatine bone. Conclusion Preoperative 3D virtual surgical simulation and postoperative feedback can contribute to training for surgeons. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Head Neck 39: 512–519, 2017
