Abstract

Mandibular reconstruction with a fibular free flap has become standard in specialised centres for head and neck reconstruction, particularly for defects with more than one osteotomy that are challenging even for experienced surgeons. Virtual surgical planning is a potential tool to facilitate harvesting of the fibula and the osteostomy. The purpose of this study was to compare the two methods of mandibular reconstruction - conventionally planned (conventional group) and "virtually" planned (virtual group) - with regard to accuracy, bony consolidation, complications, and operating time. Fifty patients who required mandibular reconstruction after segmental mandibulectomy were evaluated retrospectively, 24 virtually planned and 26 conventionally planned. The overall survival of flaps was 92% (46/50). The bony consolidation rate in the virtual group was significantly better than that in the conventional group (p=0.002). The difference between the angle of the mandible before and after was highly significant with a median of 11.5° (range 2°-75°) in the conventional group and 4.5° (range 0-18°) in the virtual group (p=0.0001). Operations were mean (SD) of 34 (21.2) minutes shorter in virtually-planned cases (p=0.12). The overall morb...Continue Reading
