description With the improvement in computer graphics and sensors, technologies like virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) have created new possibilities for developing diagnostic and surgical techniques in the field of surgery. VR and AR are the latest technological modalities that have been integrated into clinical practice and medical education, and are rapidly emerging as powerful tools in the field of maxillofacial surgery. In this report, we describe a case of total maxillectomy and orbital floor reconstruction in a patient with malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the maxilla, with preoperative planning via VR simulation and AR-guided surgery. Future developments in VR and AR technologies will increase their utility and effectiveness in the field of surgery.
