Virtual Surgical Planning Systems in Mandibular Reconstruction

Evaluation of Virtual Surgical Planning Systems and Customized Devices in Fibula Free Flap Mandibular Recontruction

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of virtual planning using customized surgical devices (VP3D) in fibula free flap mandibular reconstruction. Virtual planning was compared to postoperative scans using cephalometric and three-dimensional (3D) measurements. Operative times of both VP3D and conventional surgery groups were compared.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients who underwent fibula free flap for mandibular reconstruction
• Patient ≥18 years old
• patient alive 6 months after completion of treatment

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patient without post-operative scan evaluation
• Patient with a chirurgical contraindication
• Pregnant or nursing woman
• Adult requiring protection (guardianship, supervision)
