Abstract
High precision anatomical facsimile models of the patients' skulls, individ ually produced by colour stereolithography, were used in the preoperative p lanning for seven patients with complex maxillofacial tumours, Selectively coloured models facilitated the management of ablative surgery and reconstr uctive procedures as well. The indicators for preoperative colour stereolit hographic model planning concerning maxillofacial tumour surgery are discus sed.
