    Maxillofacial surgery requires precise incisions on facial soft tissue to avoid damaging nerves and blood vessels.

  • 2

    Traditional surgical training is time-consuming and limited, often relying on synthetic materials and cadavers.

  • 3

    Virtual reality technology offers a flexible and cost-effective alternative for training in maxillofacial surgery.

  • 4

    The study developed a haptics-enabled virtual surgical system to simulate incision-making on facial soft tissue.

  • 5

    Hybrid models combining surface meshes with internal point elements improve the simulation of soft tissue cutting.
