Functional Anatomic Computer Engineered Surgery (FACES) Protocol for the Management of Self-Inflicted Gunshot Wounds to the Maxillofacial Skeleton

Self-inflicted gunshot wounds (SIGSW's) to the craniofacial region result in devastating functional disabilities and esthetic deformities, which are further magnified by the associated psychological trauma. [1, 2] Because a substantial number of these patients return to work, return to their pre-injury life style, and have a low rate of suicide recidivism, adequate reconstruction is essential to their comprehensive rehabilitation. Studies suggest that early diagnosis and treatment should be considered to further reduce the risk of suicide attempts.
