The Surgical Segment Navigator (SSN) is a computer-assisted navigation system in oral and 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.
