We, the topic editors—Daniel M. Prevedello, Marc R. Mayberg, Nyall London Jr., Kerry-Ann Mitchell, Luigi Maria Cavallo, and Carolina G. Benjamin—represent a multidisciplinary team from the fields of neurosurgery, otolaryngology, and plastic surgery. Together, we are pleased to present this issue of Neurosurgical Focus, which highlights advanced techniques for reconstruction following neurosurgical interventions.

2. Materials and Methods 2.1. Geometric Skull Models with Defects A CT scan data (DICOM format) from a patient served as a foundation from which a 3D stereolithography (STL) model of a human skull was generated. The STL model was then converted to an object file (.obj) and imported into open-source software AutoDesk Meshmixer (v3.4.35; Autodesk, Inc., CA, USA) to model cranial defects.
