The Surgical Segment Navigator (SSN) is a computer-assisted navigation system in cranio-maxillofacial surgery to correct malpositions of the mandible, the maxilla, the midface and the orbit after repositioning osteotomy. The system has been found in 1997 at the University of Regensburg/Germany with the support of Carl Zeiss Oberkochen/Germany. The Surgical Segment Navigator is based on an infrared positioning device; at least three infrared-transmitters are connected to a osteotomied bone segment. Since 2001, the SSN++ has been developed at the University of Heidelberg/Germany. The SSN++ is based on the SSN and is enlarged by an additional 3d laser scanner; the SSN++ is used for markerless patient registration in image-guided surgery.
