Abstract

Fibular vascularized osteocutaneous free flap is the gold standard for mandibular reconstruction. The traditional method is very difficult and challenging work. This technique has so far been performed solely depending on the experience of the surgeons. Recently, several software programs that can make accurate preoperative surgical plans in a three dimensional (3D)-virtual system have been developed and used to solve this problem. The aim of this study is to describe our experience and to share several tips and pitfalls of mandibular reconstruction with virtual surgical planning (VSP).
