Introduction Tridimensional (3D) surgical modelling is a necessary step to create 3D-printed
surgical tools, and expensive professional software is generally needed. Open-source …

Introduction Mandibular reconstruction using fibula free flap has been improved in the last
decade with computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) but any …

Background Virtual surgical planning (VSP) has contributed to a number of technical
innovations in mandible reconstruction. We report on these innovations and the overall …

Introduction Mandibular reconstruction always pose a challenge to the reconstructive
surgeon. With the use of Computer aided designing and computer aided manufacturing …

PURPOSE:: The concept of virtual surgery uses surgical simulation rather than relying
exclusively on intraoperative manual approximation of facial reconstruction. The purpose of …

Introduction Virtual planning and guided surgery (VPGS) has been recently developed for
mandibular reconstruction, but benefit remains to be assessed. The aim of this study was to …

Very few surgical teams currently use totally independent and free solutions to perform three-
dimensional (3D) surgical modelling for osseous free flaps in reconstructive surgery. This …

Introduction Preoperative planning of mandibular reconstruction has moved from
mechanical simulation by dental model casts or stereolithographic models into an almost …

Background To determine whether virtual surgical planning and three‐dimensional printed
cutting guides (3D/VSP) improved radiographic bone union compared to conventional …

Background The introduction of computer‐assisted surgery was a milestone in functional
reconstructions of facial skeletal defects. Patients and methods We compared five computer …
